ABOUT MY WORK
My photographic practice explores the subtle interactions between people and space.
I am fascinated by the ways we shape our environments through presence and action – and how, in turn, these environments shape us.
This quiet dialogue is, for me, an invitation to look more closely and to seek out the stories that lie beneath the surface of apparent banality. In doing so, I encounter moments that feel both deeply personal and universally resonant.

A central element of my working method is what I call directionless research – a visual thinking process that consciously embraces and incorporates chance. By relinquishing certain aspects of control, I allow unexpected connections to emerge organically.
In a world driven by perfection, my practice serves as a necessary counterbalance. It opens up spaces for insights that often remain hidden within purely rational or linear approaches. The tension between control and coincidence enables me to question social structures and patterns of perception – and to create visual narratives that are both documentary and poetic in nature.
I work with both analogue and digital photography, depending on the needs of each process and project.
