"I am a traveler, philosopher and explorer of the world, and photography always helps me understand the world more deeply.
I came from travel photography to art photography in 2020 after a long search for a way to express my worldview and stayed in this field because I found more freedom of expression here.

I photograph outside of the person and outside of space, trying to become still and transparent the moment the frame hits the lens. When I photograph something, it is always a "magical" story, a picture of the world that can be a guide to the depths of consciousness of whoever is looking at it.

I like to use artistic photography to show the extraordinary in the ordinary, the greatness in the small, and to give harmony to the viewer of my pictures.
