Photography found me early. At eleven, with a small pocket camera, I began to notice the world differently – not as something to document, but as something to see.

This is a personal and aesthetic project. The images here were never planned or staged. They happened while I was living – walking through landscapes, moving through cities, being present. Seeing consciously is the practice. The photograph is its result.

Nature and landscape appear often, simply because that is where I spend much of my time. But the camera follows life, not the other way around.

Most of what you find here was made over the past ten years, when I returned to photography with renewed focus and intention. But the archive goes deeper – analogue work from the eighties and nineties is waiting to be rediscovered, and will gradually find its way here too.

If something resonates with you, I’m glad it found its way to you.
