​I launched my photography website! It’s not a portfolio of an accomplished professional, but a personal workshop put on display. For now, I follow curiosity rather than coherence. And of course, I make mistakes. But I am learning and trying to understand what I’m drawn to. My long-term goal is to carve out a style that feels mine, and I believe that my website will motivate me to improve.

A completely new addition is a standalone blog that I called Journal, where I am going to write about new series and probably some other photographic adventures. I’ve already published a few articles:
