FINE ART PHOTOGRAPHY

“EXTRACTING THE ESSENCE AND EMOTIONS OF AN INSTANT
AND TRANSFORMING IT FROM AN IMAGE INTO A PERSONAL EXPRESSION, THIS IS WHERE PHOTOGRAPHY BECOMES FINE ART.”

WHEN THE WORLD OF PHOTOGRAPHY CAPTURED MY HEART MORE THAN TWENTY YEARS AGO, IT CHANGED THE WAY I PERCEIVED THE WORLD. I REALISED THAT EXPERIENCES IN LIFE AND THE EMOTIONS WE FEEL CAN BE CAPTURED IN A MOMENT TO LIVE ON FOREVER IN A PHOTOGRAPH. CHASED BY EMOTIONS AND HASTE, I FELT LIKE A CHILD EXPLORING AN UNKNOWN WORLD; THERE WAS NO PLAN OF WHERE THIS JOURNEY WOULD TAKE ME. THE CHASE LED ME THROUGH COUNTLESS STYLES, AN EXPLORATION OF THE VARIOUS INFLUENCES IN MY LIFE AND A DEEP REFLECTION OF MY OWN EMOTIONS. PHOTOGRAPHY HAS BECOME AN INTEGRAL PART OF MY LIFE, A MEANS OF EXPRESSION WITHOUT USING ANY WORDS.

INFLUENCED BY A MULTITUDE OF ARTISTS AND PHILOSOPHICAL IDEAS, MY STYLE OF PHOTOGRAPHY GAINED FOCUS AND CLARITY. REDUCING THE CONTENT TO THE MINIMUM, I DEVELOPED AN INTENSE FASCINATION FOR SIMPLICITY – THE POINT WHERE THE TRUE ESSENCE OF AN IMAGE APPEARS, AWAKING DEEP FEELINGS AND THOUGHTS.
