I developed my love for photography

when I was a kid. My grandma used

to give me her camera to take family

pictures. That was fun! Being a

teenager, I bought my first camera

and within a few years I developed

the necessary technical skills for

serious photography, eventually it

became my passion. Coming to New

York City was a great inspiration, I

started documenting the life on the

streets with my photographs , always

hungry for more. During the past few

years my love for photography has

grown, my work evolved and became

multi-faceted; I have grown.

“I think I started to forget things

and [...] when I’m taking a picture of

something it helps me not to forget. I

start to shoot a lot. I started to shoot

people [...] I just need to save it

somewhere. An dif you have a photo

you can also share it to others. That’s

a good thing about it. You just share,

what’s happening in your world,

what’s happening around [...]. So

I think, everybody who takes street

pictures has their own view of it.”
