A Lawyer with Passion for Photography

My passion for photography centers on my love to life and people. Having a serious and demanding profession often turns you away from enjoying the simplicity of life and the joy and calmness that people around you can offer. Being a thorough professional often deprives you from expressing simple emotions. Then photography happened, and I realized that I was good at it.

Over the years, photography has taught me quite a bit about life and the way you “see” it. Thanks to photography, I started to see things differently and look at people from a whole different perspective. Suddenly, I realized I have the power to stop time, give myself and others the luxury of examining a moment carefully and fully. Through my lens I can make others imagine the reality of people, societies and faraway places, the beauty of such, or sometimes the marginalization. My photos tell stories about places, people and even emotions. I can take you back in time to places you’ve been to and to people you miss. Photography can make you see things you might never have noticed on our own. It shows the world in many different versions.

Photography is my passion. It is through photography I can show the world what I think, feel and believe. Apart from my profession, it is my best and often my preferred way of communicating. When I take a photo my heart brings to my mind all the pictures I have seen, the books I have read, the music I have heard, and all the people I have loved. Photography is “a way of feeling, of touching, of loving”. To me it’s about being the light in the eyes of someone I love!

I hope you enjoy my photos.
