As a fine art photographer, my work has evolved into narrative photography, where I use analog film and alternative photographic printing techniques to craft compelling visual stories. My creative process is deeply hands-on—I control every step, from conception to the final print, ensuring that each detail aligns with my vision.
It all begins in my journal, where I sketch ideas and map out the story that will guide the photoshoot. In the studio, I collaborate with models, using improvisation to bring the narrative to life. As the concept develops, I select landscapes or cityscapes that will serve as the backdrop, blending instinct with intention to shape each scene. Armed with my film camera and a clear sense of mood, I immerse myself in the environment, capturing moments that bridge reality and imagination.
After shooting, I hand-develop the film and scan the images to begin assembling a surreal montage. Carefully layering landscapes and characters, I construct the visual narrative with precision. The final image is brought to life using traditional silver gelatin printing, merging the tangible and the dreamlike.
This process is both time-intensive and costly, but it grants me unmatched creative freedom. By combining traditional photographic methods with digital refinement, I create singular images that exist between reality and fantasy—each one a meticulously crafted story.
