State of Mind Photograph - Limited Edition of 5

I began taking pictures at the age of 13. I was excited and enthusiastic about this medium. The first contact with photography manifested in a spontaneous and authentic way which gradually I felt that vanished. I was realizing that I was taking photographs, not as I once used to, when everything sprung from a natural emotion while being purely mesmerized by the world which I was captivating through my camera, but trying instead to imitate the already established photographic styles. When I decided to continue my studies in this field, I got stuck in a creative block. I stopped expressing myself through photography. I was struggling to find my own voice. 5 years later, I find myself being an artist as well as a theoretician. It seems that all I needed was a ‘’catharsis” in order to be able to create again. Today, I no longer aim for my photographs to resemble someone else’s work but rather try to regain my lost enthusiasm, while no longer being concerned with techniques, styles or synthesis. I just let luck and chance to speak for themselves. The photographs are left unedited, being an index of my personal expression, space, time and aura.
