"My greatest influence and foremost teacher is Nature. When I photograph, my philosophy is to simply let the subject be itself and express itself; what ever it might be, a person, a landscape, an object. I like to let the own nature of the subject surge and suggest.  In photographing people, I observe and I wait in order for my photographs to capture the specific and unique qualities of each person; those which by their own nature make and reveal the distinct subject. In this way I direct my clients so they feel natural and comfortable when posing. My style is sincere because I compel myself to capture the emotion of a fleeting and unrepeatable encounter. To be a photographer is not an ambition, or a duty or a hobby. It is a way of giving, a way of being with myself, and my way of being natural."
