Story
Photography has been at the forefront of my life for more than 15 years. For quite some time old Japanese film camera was my primary instrument. I was particularly interested in urban scenery. Using film was a great experience, which taught me to appreciate every shot and plan before pressing the shutter button. Inspired by classic photographers such as Adams and Cartier-Bresson I was trying to realize my ideas through shade and composition in black-and-white images. Eventually, I started to work more and more with colour and switched to digital format due to its practical advantages. Regardless of the tools, I had to use, photography has always been about exploring beauty in surrounding places.
