Spaces

Above everything else, I enjoy to create photographs. It's an addiction. I love to photograph places in particular cities. My eyes find details in which I can meet through long walks in cities. At first sight, insignificant details can emphasize rays of light, a shadow, a texture, a color... all of these things inspire me immensely. I also like how nature itself is sometimes mixed with urban structures.

I also have an obsession: building halls. These are places of passing that not a lot of people take the time to look at. Between the 60's and 80's, many residents were born and the architects - which are totally forgotten today - gave a lot of importance in their halls. People don't acknowledge these halls much anymore; people passing them, going to their mailboxes and going back to what they were doing. These are the places I love to photograph the most.
