I don't have much to say about myself. From early age I could consider myself as a very creative person with strong inner energy. Most of the time I was investing this energy to writing, nowadays (past couple of years) it's photography which is number one activity for me right now.
After two years of trying different things I have finally developed my unique typical style. I tend to choose nature sceneries and process them in monochrome toning with stress on atmosphere and sometimes dark feeling. My second favorite theme are abandoned houses because if you are inside these buildings you are overwhelmed by so many feelings and emotions, that sometimes you need to stay on one spot for a few minutes to absorb all these things. And these emotions I want to capture in my pictures.
That´s all from me for now. If you want to know more or anything else beside that - don´t hesitate and send me a note
