Photography was my childhood hobby.
My interest reawakened when I inherited an old SLR. I rediscovered photography as an art form - using shape and form, texture, patterns and above all, the magic of light. Since then I have sought these elements in cityscapes, architecture, in man-made objects and nature, trying to capture them from a creative perspective. But my driving force is to see and capture the ordinary in a light that transforms it. As Henri Cartier-Bresson said:' It is not the subject matter that counts, it is the light.'
I find inspiration in the work of the masters and contemporary artists.
