I am a self-taught photographer working in black and white.

My practice is rooted in documentary photography and driven by an anthropological interest in people, place, and everyday life.

I am interested in the ordinary moments that often go unnoticed – the gestures, expressions, and environments that quietly speak about who we are.

Photography is my way of observing the world with patience and curiosity.

Rather than constructing narratives, I seek to record them as they unfold, creating images that invite reflection rather than explanation.
