I am a photographer specialising in portrait and contemporary photography based in London, UK
Working with (analogue) photography, text and archival materials, my multidisciplinary practice is an investigation of the obscurities and idiosyncrasies of the mundane, as overlooked everyday objects. For me, creation in relation to daily and through the individual with his environment is like a mirage that reveals itself in a subtle and suggestive way. Fascinated by observing and recording everyday encounters and paradoxes, using photography as a catalyst for his imagination; the camera as a tool to make sense of the world. Research, execution and intervention is part of his process and is closely intertwined with numerous artistic references and philosophical readings. Recurring themes and interests are memory, identity, tactility and fiction. My style is a domestic style. Not necessarily homemade or amateur, just domestic. A style that mixes the intimate and the daily, the informal and the affective.
