About
Hi, I am a self taught photographer with a passion for minimalist landscape , fine art and architecture. My love for photography began in my youth and has continued to develop to this day. Minimalist photography allows me to focus on individual things, to give them more attention. I like to deal with colours, shapes and light and bring everything together in such a way that it looks aesthetic and harmonious.
My love of detail is probably influenced by my professional work as an architect.
Thank you for visiting my website:-)
