Creative Statement

Photography makes me feel closer to nature and helps me capture the magic of a single moment, so I can share with others what I see when I look out into the world. I meditate on the beauty of what’s out there and relive the experiences at a much slower pace afterwards by editing. The process of edition brings me a sense of peace, similar to that of painting, since I often hand color the images on the computer. Meditating on an image and allowing it to dictate which size and coloring best suits each frame is incredibly rewarding for me. I take pictures because I love the subjects and because I cherish photography itself. I enjoy every aspect of it and I believe that love, translates into all of my images. The simple act of looking at the world through the camera lens and shooting makes me happy. Every person is unique, and it is that uniqueness, in the way I relate to my environment and the magic that I’m expecting to find in it what sets my photos apart. As an Inspirational photographer, I shoot every and any time I feel the call to capture something alluring. I never leave home without my camera because it is though it, that I am able to remember the scenes, situations, people and animals I treasure.
