I have been a photographer for six years. Since completing my studies in photography, I have begun to understand what this profession really means to me. Working as a photographer has made it possible for me to tell, through different life stories, the story of everybody. What unites us is universal, and to explain these stories through the camera I don’t just use my eyes but also my heart. That is my way to understand the testimony of those I photograph, whose looks and words will stay with me for the rest of my life.To show the world the reality of these individuals makes me feel that I can raise their voices as they would never be able to do it themselves. I always try to approach everyone that I photograph reaching deeply to understand their dreams and what are the things that make them cling to life.
I have found in photography a way to understand human beings, and although I still have a long way to go, with each work I do learn a bit more about what is happening in our contemporary society.
