MOMENTS in life

The Archives

Have you ever gone to places that gave you so many stories to tell? Not only the stories but in combination with the photos to get the full experience?

I love Fashion photography and one day I would love to do that for magazines and other companies, and see my photo hanging on a billboard or in stores. Or help direct a fashion commercial. But in the meantime, I love seeing life through my lens when I'm just walking around different places and doing Street Photography. I started doing that first before I integrated fashion into my work. When I'm at an event, my favorite moments are when people interact before and after the show with each other and have a laugh, a hug, or a moment by themselves enjoying a small moment of peace or any emotion that happens and I catch that split second with a click.

Sometimes I ask someone randomly that I find interesting and ask if I can take their photo. Some say now, but a lot say yes. Some who say yes, for a look at me like: why and how good are you. And then when I take that photo and show them, their hearts open and those smiles give me all the energy of the world. The joyful moment of seeing what I capture and them being surprised makes not only my day but theirs too. Giving them that moment makes me happy.

A woman I photographed in Paris said: I was not feeling it today and not confident when you asked me, but seeing this really made my day.

My heart melted and I had such a warm and happy feeling. That made me realize, that this is what I want to give to someone else with my photos.
