I don’t approach stories as moments to capture, but as realities to live with over time.
Long-term projects allow me to move beyond the surface to understand the rhythms, tensions, and silences that shape people’s lives.

My work is rooted in proximity. I spend time before I photograph, building trust, listening, and observing without the pressure to produce immediate results. What matters is not access, but presence. The camera comes later.

I work exclusively with natural light and within real environments, because I believe the truth of a story lives in what already exists. I don’t construct or direct I respond. The images emerge from what unfolds, not from what is imposed.

I am drawn to stories where something is at stake: identity, survival, memory, or change. Often these are quiet struggles, unfolding from headlines, but carrying deep and lasting impact.

Photography, for me, is not about explaining a story. It is about creating space for the viewer to feel, question, and stay with it a little longer.

Across all my long-term projects, I am searching for the same thing:
how people endure, adapt, and shape meaning within the circumstances they are given.

I don’t aim to conclude stories. I aim to stay with them.
