ABOUT
about me
Photography is a way of life for me. Every day I live, breathe and study photography in every possible way, whether it's landscapes, nature, people, or street scenes. I photograph everything that inspires me using any possible format: digital with the most advanced cameras and lenses or the most traditional analog (film) cameras and formats. All this is to capture the story and feel of a specific moment with the press of a button.
I started my journey with analog photography using cameras of various sizes and formats: standard (35mm), medium (120mm), and large (4x5 and 8x10). I Received my inspiration and knowledge from my father, a professional and successful photographer. As a child, I remember helping him in the studio and later developing films and prints in the lab. Today, I continue developing films and photos in a darkroom I built, whether black-and-white or color photography, or slides. In addition to traditional and standard digital photography, there are moments when I feel that Time-lapse photography will better tell the story.

As a photographer who doesn't compromise on quality and catching the right moment, I often go to unusual extremes to capture the picture I believe in. Yet I know that despite my high efforts, in the end, I might not press the button and may not take that picture. I also believe in and am open to flow with different situations and opportunities that occur on my journey that are entirely different from what I wanted or imagined, and it's precisely there that I find the ideal moment. As I believe planning and persistence are excellent and essential, although sometimes agility will lead me to fantastic results.
time-lapse photography
I can't fully describe my feelings and the satisfaction of transforming a moment in life into a work of art. Suffice it to say that there are images I took 20 years ago that still inspire me to continue my journey.
