I began in the late 1980s with a simple film camera, and through the 1990s photography gradually became more than a technical interest. It became a way of observing, remembering and making sense of the things around me.

Then, for many years, photography occupied less space in my life.

Three Decades of Light and Dark began as an attempt to return to it — by revisiting thousands of negatives, slides and digital files, and by starting to photograph deliberately again.

What I found in the archive surprised me. Across different cameras, formats, subjects and decades, there was a visual language that had been there much longer than I realised.

I am interested in light and darkness, distance and intimacy, silence and energy, and in photographs that reveal themselves slowly. I am less interested in technical perfection than in atmosphere, emotion and the stories that exist within — and sometimes beyond — the frame.

My approach remains rooted in analogue photography. I use both film and digital cameras, but the principle is the same: photography before technology. Editing is kept within the traditions of the darkroom. The aim is to make photographs, not digital creations.

This portfolio is not intended as a finished statement. It is part archive, part new work, and part an ongoing attempt to understand my own way of seeing.
