“I create images that make you feel something. Images that make you feel nostalgic and bring you back to that place. Images that tell a unique story in a creative and honest way. No fluff, nothing invented, just real. I consider myself free from stereotypes and try to show something different and possibly incomprehensible the first time. In my works, real stories and my thoughts and vision are mixed. I create photographs with full respect for aesthetics, focusing on the balance of a significant event and beauty."
In his free time from photography, he spends with his family (mother and sister family) in the country or works on new projects. He is fond of big tennis, soccer, playing the piano, interior design, outdoor recreation, communicating with close relatives, whom he loves very much.
