About Me, reportage photographer

---

Take a moment to look around and let your eyes take in the details of the scene before you. What can freeze time? Reportage photography can. It allows you to delve deeper into an image captured in a moment. I've always been intrigued by this ability to stop time. I started by learning the basics: light, shadows, optics, developers, and fixers. My grandfather, my great mentor, guided me through these early stages and taught me everything. With this knowledge, you can move forward. Then, it's about observing the world. When something catches your eye, you find the right composition and press the shutter. I aim to discover the beauty that nature offers us, capturing the perfect moment in the right light and from the best angle. In post-production, I don't add anything extra; I simply highlight details to ensure they aren't missed. I believe that adding elements to an image transforms it into a work of art, making you an artist. I don't see myself as an artist. I'm a reportage photographer. I just do what I love and enjoy. When I find something, I like, I share it, hoping others might appreciate it too.
