“When I am in the streets, I always observe people and looking for
a scene, looking for the right moment and the right light.
I tend to use atmosphere, light, and shadows against the backdrop of my great city for telling whatever story I am conveying.
I shoot in color, though I see only the many shades of blacks, whites, and greys as this bring the emotion that I would like to share with the world. I tend to shoot a lone figure, finding a connection to represent their feelings”.
