Authenticity
In my black-and-white portraits, I strive to bare not the body, but the very nature of human presence. It is a story about what remains when everything unnecessary is stripped away from a person — when, in the quiet of light and shadow, the incidental disappears and what remains is truth: structured, fragile, yet powerful.
I photograph not physicality, but a state of being — that elusive instant when the inner becomes visible.
It is an attempt to stop time and reveal a beauty that needs no translation, for it is the universal language of our inner freedom.
And if these works speak to the viewer, it is only because within them are all of us — laid bare in our authenticity.
