Artist statement:
“ I strongly believe that every photograph has to captivate its viewer and make a statement.My work is produced with great attention to detail, discovering unique perspectives of both, familiar and new subjects.It is one of the things that sets me apart…The other being my friendly,easy-going personality of course..”
