My photography is about observing rather than directing. I often invite a person to spend time in a place of nature — to breathe, move, and exist there until something quiet and genuine begins to unfold. In those moments, the person and the landscape start to merge, creating a sense of unity that I simply witness through my camera. My subjects rarely look into the lens; their gaze turns inward, toward their own thoughts and emotions. I try to capture that — the silent dialogue between a person and the world around them.

Why I Photograph
The idea for these portraits was born in Portugal, where I lived for half a year. During a week of isolation, when I tested positive for COVID, I found myself alone and unusually still. That time pushed me to look inward and question what truly matters. Out of that quiet came a wish to photograph people who, like me, were standing in a moment of change — between what was and what will be.
I started asking them about their stories, and those conversations changed the way I saw photography. I wasn’t interested in documenting reality anymore. What drew me in was something softer, almost fairy-tale-like — the way light and emotion can blur the line between the real and the imagined. Maybe it’s a bit naive, but that’s how I see the world: fragile, mysterious, and full of hidden senses.
