In my work I am mainly interested in capturing the essence of a person, their personality and their true face. I photograph all people without exception, but my specialty is photographing women. With each person I try to spend as much time as possible, to get to know each other a little and tune in to the same wavelength, which is the most important thing when photographing people. I try to underline the natural beauty of every woman and not suppress it or turn her into someone else. I personally do the makeup for each client and help with styling. I work primarily with natural daylight and shoot not only digitally but also on film. I do not only photograph models but ordinary women of all ages.
