What pieces or projects have you been working on recently?<\/strong>
Lately, I\u2019ve been focusing more intensely on my photographic practice, alongside my work as an Art Director. After years of working technically in the studio \u2013 especially with medium format cameras in portrait, interior, and architectural photography \u2013 I felt the need to step away from such a controlled approach. About two years ago, I began working in a point-and-shoot style to respond more openly, intuitively, and directly to my surroundings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

What did you learn (or unlearn) while working on it?<\/strong>
I consciously and deliberately unlearned the habit of planning every creative step in advance. Instead, I learned to trust the moment more and to allow chance as a design element. This shift has not only changed my working methods but also sharpened my perception for the unplanned and the everyday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

What words, ideas, or emotions went through your mind?<\/strong>
I was drawn to ideas like stillness, observation, reduction, and presence. I was searching for moments that don\u2019t demand attention but still carry visual or emotional depth. It was about noticing what’s often overlooked \u2013 the incidental, which suddenly gains meaning under a certain light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Were there conversations, films, music, or books that influenced this work?<\/strong>
Music has always been a central part of my creative process. It\u2019s one of my greatest sources of inspiration, as sounds and atmospheres often trigger images in my head \u2013 sometimes even before I pick up the camera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Which visual artists have inspired you, and what drew you to their approach?<\/strong>
There isn\u2019t one specific reference. I\u2019m more inspired by a general attitude \u2013 one that steps away from perfectionism, takes the subtle seriously, and works with sensitivity toward nuance. I\u2019m drawn to ways of working that place intuition, presence, and openness at the center \u2013 regardless of the medium.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
