“It’s important for you to spend your time photographing things that matter to you. You need to understand the things that have meaning to you, and not what others think is important for you.” ~ Steve McCurry
“For me, photography is a therapy’. I can now say this quite clearly. All of my photos and the process behind them, that moment that compels me to capture a moment in time, all of this impacts me like a therapy, and that would not even be a lie.
This medium of art, in addition to the honesty that is made possible by photography, is extremely important to me. This is one reason why I view photography as a kind of therapy that advances my personal development.
I often face the same problem of expressing what matters most to me. It seems unclear how to put into words what I want to express and convey information satisfactorily. Quite frankly, I sometimes may not even know how exactly I feel about a certain situation.
Over the years I have learned to communicate differently, but above all to reflect. The first point of contact for important events in my daily life is often my camera. It is my camera that offers me endless possibilities to express myself.
It is my camera that opens up new perspectives for me. Some things cannot and should not be expressed in words, and some photos do not have to be written in words but feelings.
The following photos I aimed to represent beauty and melancholy at the same time. I would like to learn how you see my photos.
You can use your photography practice as a tool to curate and reframe the world around you. Photography can be a place to reflect your values, thoughts, and desires, and to manifest the kind of world you want to see. In short, you can choose what you focus on and what you leave out of the frame.
