Through my Looking-Glass

Stopping a memory, fixing an emotion, being able to make a moment immortal. Like a personal diary, but written with light. This is where my need to take pictures comes from, since I have been able to hold a camera.

My aim is to show others the beauty I see in small things that surround us. To create amazement in the spectator, donating a tiny moment of joy. I like to capture the details that aren’t usually noticed, in the frantic everyday life.

Not just pure intuition, it is a long process of constant training of the eye to find the hidden magical side of “normal” things.

I believe in expressive freedom, photography is a journey made up of similarities, analogies, cross-references that can hardly be trapped in a frame.
