ABOUT ME

My love for photography began in the 1980s — a time when I first discovered the powerful language of images. What started as a curiosity quickly grew into a true passion. It was the unpredictable nature of photography that captivated me most — those fleeting moments when everything aligns, and the image just works.

I became especially fascinated by the magic of water droplets and the mysterious nature of smoke. What many see as mere details or coincidences became, for me, an endless source of inspiration. I started experimenting with different liquids, materials, and lighting techniques, discovering how droplets can dance, collide, and burst into extraordinary shapes. Smoke, on the other hand, moves slowly and dreamily — sometimes playful, always elusive, and constantly surprising.

By combining these elements and playing with color, light, and timing, a mesmerizing spectacle unfolds — where chance and control meet in a delicate balance. Each shot is different. Sometimes the result is stunning; other times, the moment vanishes as quickly as it appeared. It takes patience, precision, and passion — because out of thousands of images, only a few truly speak, tell a story, and earn a place on the wall.

Every artwork you find in this shop is the result of that ongoing search for the perfect moment — a frozen fragment of magical unpredictability. I invite you to explore my collection, and perhaps you’ll find that one image that speaks to you.
