My work as a photographer helps me understand my personal relationships through the subject-space interaction, with a strong aesthetic focus. My photography is cinematic yet deeply rooted in reality, drawing from documentary styles while exploring the emotional and evocative relationship between the self and the landscape.
For me, photography has always been a tool for understanding the world, peeling back layers of reality to reveal the hidden, magical truth beneath the ordinary. It allows me to escape the mundane and fix an emotional and aesthetic universe that transcends daily life. Carrying my camera, I seek out the unexpected, the contrast of ideas, and the emotional resonance in what is unfamiliar yet speaks directly to me. My artistic approach echoes the Romantic painters like Turner and Friedrich, who infused their landscapes with personal introspection, while bridging it to 21st-century documentary photography.
Each photograph is an opportunity for psychological exploration, resulting in my own "psychological landscapes"—evocative, atmospheric spaces often devoid of people. Grounded in narrative, my images aim to evoke the feeling of watching a film, blending cinematic aesthetics with my experience in visual storytelling. My colorblindness further influences my strong, saturated palette, creating a unique "enhanced reality." Analog photography, with its reflective pace, shapes my approach to image-making, drawing on references from Alex Webb or Sergio Larraín to Sebastião Salgado to create impactful, emotional images.
