Before devoting myself to photography, I was captivated by the medium of film. Scenic work gave room for experimentation. The documentary format trained my observational gaze. As a social scientist, I am interested in how context affects people and how people shape their environment. Photography encapsulates this relationship, providing a glimpse into the world of thoughts and emotions. For me, photographs are like frames from a cinematic scene that inevitably make you wonder what just happened or what will happen next.
