About

Reality is not what one makes it to be, reality is here to see and grasp, I absorb it through photography and that’s why we are called reporters. We report what we see and witness in the field, we report reality.

Analogue or digital it has to remain true to the events we cover, I prefer tough and bitter moments to sweet and happy ones as they are usually more sincere.

This is what I have been doing on the various routes that my photojournalistic studies at Parsons School of Design have led me to admire or to confront the facts of nature, be it the ones humanity has brought upon itself or provoked by nature to deal with a our behaviours on this planet, the only planet we have.

Judgment belongs to the beholder of the picture, I for one, do not judge, I am merely a witness of that reality.
