His entire work is connected to his obsession: the camera. After several years of practice and technical studies, he realized that his mind was obsessed with this small box. In our society, lots of photographs are made every day, and most people don't care about the enormous potential of the photographic tool. "How can the people ignore this potential? How can I feel that power? How can I express myself using it?" The artist found the answer to these questions in a book called Photography and Technological unconscious, written by the Italian Artist Franco Vaccari. "It's not important that the photographer knows how to see because the camera sees for him". Trust the photographic medium. With this consciousness, he tries to understand what fascinated him about photography. The focus of his work is to increase people's awareness of whats surrounds them. This process leading to this awareness is variable. His projects, or rather his ideas, are a detailed transposition of what his eyes see in society and what he, as a photographer, feels that he has to tell. When the idea starts, the search follows. In all of his projects, there are two constants: identity and social denunciation. The first one is connected to the people, the second one is related to the society in which we spend our lifetime.
