Fine art gave me a purpose, a meaning that was missing from photographing just for beauty. It gave me a reason to love the imperfect, admire a simple bokeh, to question, to feel and sometimes, even to get out of focus. It opened up a door for my inner passion to express and tell something about life, people and places.
I currently shoot mainly on Polaroid film. It has helped me redefine my connection to photography, to slow down and capture the moment, magically raw. And I strongly feel they have a life of their own, not to be just kept in a weather-proof box but to wander and travel, to be shared for viewing over a cup of tea or in an exhibition. And above all, to be held in hand and wonder.
Some original Polaroids and limited edition prints are available for sale. Please enquire below for framing options and prices.
