will never happen in quite the same way again. Each photo has a story to tell, a singular fragment of time held still. Through my lens, I seek not just to document, but to preserve the unrepeatable. I like to call it Stillness in Motion.
I was a child when I got my first camera, a film camera with automatic settings, and I was instantly absorbed by it. Soon after, I got a camera with manual controls. There was always something magical about the moment my mother returned from the store with the developed photographs. You never know how many of them were coming good, and surprisely some were looking crazy amazing, with unexpected reflections.
I clearly remember a moment with one of my teachers. He was looking at my photos, and he said something I will never forger: “They look amazing! But everyone could have taken them”. It felt so bad to receive such a feedback, but it changed the way I saw photography forever. So I went back out with my camera, and I did something totally different. I began talking to strangers, making them confortable, and photographing them. My teacher’s comment changed the way I started looking through my viewfinder. I don’t take just take photo, I no longer just take photographs, I also tell stories.
