I was born and grew up in Timisoara, Romania and presently live in Vienna, Austria.
After studying anthropology and psychology, I felt that I no longer
want to explain the world but rather express it. My curiosity for
everything that is human, the wish to 'see' and get closer to people
led me to photography.
I am a freelance photographer and some of my work is distributed by the ASAblanca Agency, based in Vienna.
STATEMENT
Making
photography begins with a certain state of mind. It is all
about
curiosity and the desire to connect. Connecting
heart and
mind
with other people, through the viewfinder.
Whenever
you take a picture, you make a statement – not only about
what
you see but also about yourself.
You
are what you see.
PHOTOGRAPHY: HERE. NOW. AWARE.
There
is no wish to be somewhere else, in some other time. This
moment is all there is. Being fully in the present.
Then try this
in your everyday life. Without a camera.
