I love to photograph.
I look to capture spontaneous moments, where people are relaxed and natural and where events unfold fluidly. Specifically, I’m looking for a special confluence of elements where everything aligns just so.Ultimately, seeing and capturing the beauty of life’s little moments is what drives me.Once I have an image, I develop it to approximate what my mind’s eye saw the moment I clicked the shutter. This is a key part of the process, because it is what confers the unique look and feel to each of my images. Although I use advanced post-processing techniques, the development process is shaped by an overall artistic sensibility.Ultimately, my goal is to invoke a great emotional response.
If I’ve done that, then I know I’ve succeeded.

There is nothing like real photography...
I like real feelings, real photos.I only look for the genuine emotions. People. Together. Happy. For me sincerity is more important than all the riches that bring the pastelised sickly sweet cr*p that wedding photography has degenerated to. Super quiet Leica MP 75mm F2.0 ASPH Summicron. Film Tri-X

Perfect ivestment
A lot of people talk about the differences between negative film and digital. I think really how anyone can compare this images to digicams. Shot on the film I happened to have in the camera.

I think really pictures are not only photos of specific people but ideas, situations and the idea of relationship.
