Photographer / Visual storyteller/ Appearance activist
Sometimes art can change how people see the world, but I want to change how the world sees people.
Through my imagery, I am passionate about giving a voice to the voiceless – shining a light on those whom society has often placed in darkness.
I was brought to photography by cinema when I was 20 years old, and I was fascinated by the new wave in French movies, in particular, the films by Jean Luc Godard.
His films immersed me in a special, unlikely reality while watching them I understood that I wanted to stop the moments to capture reality and tell the stories with my photographs.
I have traveled around the world, working in different countries, creating social documentaries and art projects allowing me to look at things from the other side.
