"Creating visual moments - photography is the art to capture a moment, stopping the world for a brief second, only to preserve it forever in digital or analogue form.

With my photography I want to collect these moments and emotions to tell a story. My photographs are visual tales about journeys to distant countries, big cities and lonely mountain worlds - little moments. Moments and emotions the viewer easily understands, gets touched by, feels and experiences through my imagery.

Natural light and the vagaries of the weather provide me with the framework for a scene. Adjustment, flexibility and teamwork are necessary to capture the atmosphere and emotion which in the end touches the viewer and pleases the customer."
