Passionate Street Photographer roaming the world to bear witness of a time. Faces that tell a tale, faces that address each of us in different ways. In every corner of every country there will be a person with a story. I blur the line that divides photographic genres; portrait, street, advertising. And the one expression that I was fortunate to capture will be addressing a larger audience than just me.
