Artist Statement
Having a passion for travel and black and white photography I am intrigued by the simultaneous simplicity and the complexity of black and white images and by composing a strong image without the distraction of color.
Over the many years being involved with commercial, advertising and editorial projects, specializing in home interiors, landscapes, architecture, food, products, and portraits. I enjoy the challenge of transforming three-dimensional objects and spaces into two-dimensional images that retain the feeling of the original subjects.
