I've always been fascinated by photography and its more classic, reportage-oriented significance. I started photographing on the streets because I'm intrigued by the world, the way people move around me, and how I move around them. Photography is something that happens around me, something I recognize and try to capture. My images aren't contrived. I simply observe them and they find me. I consider myself a listening photographer who, much like a reporter, reads and interprets reality without altering it. My style is authorial, very intimate, natural, and introspective. There's no exaggeration: every element is just as it is. My images tell stories, they tell you, and they tell me. The main subject of my artistic exploration is womanhood with its infinite nuances. As if through a mirror reflecting the female body and faces, I try to expose myself, to discover and rediscover myself. Photoshoots become introspective and emotional journeys, where connections are forged, personal relationships are formed, and intimacy is shared. Each person has their own personal story, their own truth and I intertwine mine with theirs, without artifice or tricks. My woman moves in my world with utmost naturalness, instinctively, and I "spy" on her, listening to the crevices beneath her skin, trying to dig and narrate her vulnerability, sensuality, delicacy, fragility, emotionality, power, authenticity, femininity, beauty – which is self-acceptance, awareness of who one is! A few years ago, I tried to give a name to this journey of mine. "Tell me about myself" is not a photographic project; it's an open eye on the world, an open heart on my skin, it's my feeling.
