Artist’s Statement:

I strongly believe that street photography undoubtedly affects our capacity to empathize; also, it can help us connect with people worldwide in that way. And that’s so important.

My photographic vision focuses on capturing the essence of a person, the feeling, the soul and spirit of a city, the everyday life as it evolves in urban and rural environments.

What I photograph is defined by what I believe in.
