''Through portraits, still lives, street, landscape or architecture photography, and a focus on artistic and conceptual photography, I create images and capture moments worth immortalising. It comes as natural and inescapable as breathing.

Because of my studies and the experimentation with analog photography, I developed a great interest and importance in the artistic process and methods, which translates into shooting with film, a physical and manual process in every step, from the loading of the film to the development and printing, conveying the importance and uniqueness of every shot (as a metaphor to us, perhaps).

I will take pictures until my last breath.''
