Acceptance of your mature beauty. What is aging for you? Are you afraid of getting old? Wrinkles? Blue, grey hair?

Art and people. People and Art. Art, intimacy, human creative skills, imagination and me. Take me away from the hustle and bustle, let me enjoy.

People trust you by letting themselves to be in front of your camera, to be the part of your memory and it’s really a beautiful feeling.

It’s been long 9 years since my last visit to a beautiful country named Syria. The country which gave me wonderful friends, stories.

In my photo diaries, I try keeping records of people's faces, try to catch their moods, and the atmosphere of the places where I find them...

There’s no drama / or complicated story behind “My Irish days” photo series. It's just everyday life and people in it.
