Following a successful career in management and Venture Capital I turned to Photography.
I studied Art's history and philosophy and attended numerous workshops.
I try to create photos that have direct visual impact that engages the spectator and seduces him to closely observe them and then, with the aid of captions, hopefully stimulate a thought process.
I look at people with curiosity, sensitivity and empathy and try to capture significant moments where body language or gaze expresses what is going on in their soul at that moment and create a broader meaning from these very personal moments.
To capture the objects of photography with authentic expressions, I photograph them without being aware of my presence as a photographer.
I have won numerous prizes in international photography contests. These include
3 Gold,3 Silver,15 Bronze and 128 Honorable Mentions in International Photography Awards (IPA),PX3,One Eyeland, Photographers Forum, Color Awards, Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest, Fine Art Photography award, Epson Pano Awards, Black and White Spider Award and others.My photos were exhibited in two solo and numerous group exhibitions.
