I've had an interest in photography at least since I was gifted my first camera as a kid around the turn of the 90s. I started off as a film shooter of course, and I never lost my passion for this medium. I enjoy shooting digital for certain projects, but when I shoot film, it makes me seek out more interesting and special compositions, and the images feel all the more precious for it. I shoot a variety of cameras and formats - recently mainly a Rolleiflex 3.5F and (until stolen) a Noblex 135S. For inspiration/admiration, there are many sources, but I'll mention at least Steve McCurry, Macduff Everton, Andreas Bitesnich and Vivian Maier. I love photos that tell a story.
