My photography comes from my visual arts training which enables me to combine my artistic sensibilities with my skills of composing and designing.
I have trained and strived to make the best to blend in the visual art into the documentary types of photography.
My goal is to capture details of landscape, events and people from my point of view and trying to search for the strong and figurative images that can be able to interact with the viewers’ mind and vision and project them into an art form of photography.
Some of my works will be presented in large scale print for detail study.
Over the past 16 years of being a press & magazine’s senior photographer, my working experience includes news, feature stories, events, portraits and landscape.
