This work focuses on the symbolic use if postures and shapes, the play of shadows/light, textures. The scenes I photograph are made up of few elements. Normally a single subject, lots of negative space, no accessories (or rarely). The essential meaning of the message is transmitted by the isolated subject. I usually depict nude people, because nudity is an allegory of our true self. For me, it's the best way to describe the human beings' identity and emotions in an authentic way, whether in their greatness or their weakness, without any kind of disguise.

I'm a photographer with a deep focus on capturing the intersection between movement, emotion, and form. Drawing inspiration from the elegance of dance and the complexities of human expression, my work explores the fragile balance between strength and vulnerability. Through the lens, I seek to reveal the hidden emotional depth within moments of physical grace.
