What draws you to work in black and white, and how does it shape the mood or meaning in your photographs?

I love both color and black and white, but black and white allows me to strip an image down to its emotional core. It removes distractions and focuses the viewer on form, light, and feeling. There’s a timelessness in monochrome that aligns with the themes I return to – memory, intimacy, and the internal. It creates a space where the photograph becomes less about documenting and more about sensing.

Much of your work feels tactile and contemplative. What inspires your choice of subjects – whether it's a figure, a shadow, or an everyday object?

For me, photography is both a necessity and a therapeutic act – a way to externalize inner states and find beauty in the ordinary and melancholy.
My subjects often emerge from what surrounds me: myself, my family, a fleeting shadow on the wall. These moments let me capture a feeling – mostly un-staged, sometimes re-enacted. I look for emotion in the common and sometimes the mundane.

Do you see your photographs as part of a narrative? If so, how do they speak to one another in a collection?

Yes, even when they stand alone, my images are always part of a larger narrative. They are deeply connected to my personal life and emotional landscape. In a collection, they begin to echo each other – threads of intimacy, disguise, and transformation start to reveal themselves. It's less about a linear story and more about an atmosphere or feeling that builds over time.

Can you share a bit about your process? Do you work primarily with digital or film – and how does that choice shape the mood or outcome of your images?

I work with digital. It gives me the freedom to respond quickly and intuitively to what I’m feeling, which is important in my process. A lot of my work is emotional and instinctive – something that just comes in the moment – so digital lets me stay close to that without overthinking. While I love the look of film, digital allows me to experiment more and capture those quiet, fleeting moments without interruption.

How do you want your work to live in someone’s home? Do you imagine it creating calm, curiosity, reflection – or something else?

I’d like my images to evoke a sense of timelessness and nostalgia – something quietly familiar yet slightly mysterious. Ideally, the work creates space for reflection, a soft pause. I hope it stirs something personal in the viewer, like rediscovering a feeling you didn’t know you had forgotten.
