"My work originally came from the snapshot aesthetic.Snapshots are taken out of love and to remember people, places, and shared times. They're about creating a history by recording a history". (Nan Goldin) The photographs I produce enable you to see another world. The passion and complexity I aspire to capture causes you to question yourself by taping into your raw emotion. Through my photographs, I enable you to enter into a realm that creates an intimate encounter.
My subjects are my circle of friends and love ones, for this reason my work and my life are locked together. I have the deepest respect for those whom I have captured and I carefully try to avoid presenting them in an inappropriate or inconsiderate manner. What I capture is the moment of truth. I put faces to statistics and make you realize that there are real people behind inconceivable numbers. My images may be uncomfortable to you and even a bit taboo, but that is what makes them so intimate. My photographs may not be pretty in the sense of the cannon of what a pretty picture is supposed to look like, but they are beautiful in the sense that they capture the essence of the person. I approach my subjects with sensitivity and compassion. My controversial perception breaks the boundaries that define traditional conventions by exhibiting informality, communication, and vulnerability. They are not judgmental commentaries rather a documentation of the social experience.
Life's ups and downs have had a powerful impact on my artwork. I prefer private settings because I can capture the genuineness of people. The very source of my creative and artistic energy derives from my intimate encounters with them therefore; my photographs are influenced by a personal intense sense to myself. My passion to record history comes from wanting to never lose the moment. I focus on the everyday realities of domestic life to portray the human nature.
