I shoot as if I were making a film. I really want to become a cinematographer, and photography, for me, is a way to search for light, composition, atmosphere. I intentionally chose a cold-toned film, even though I usually prefer warm colors — I wanted to step out of my comfort zone and see what would happen.

I was shooting in the evening — cafés, windows, greenery, glass. It all felt cinematic.
But later that same night, there was a drone strike, and I went to photograph a burning house.
My day split in two: a warm dinner and the fire of war. That contrast became important for me.

I love when a photo holds a story.
Like in the hotel — a strange room, some curtains, emptiness. Or a glass filled with light.
All of it creates a sense of presence — like you're standing inside the frame.
I shoot on medium format, experiment with long exposure — sometimes the images come out strange, but that’s what draws me in.
I don’t want to make something just beautiful — I want it to hold tension, to feel alive.
