"Photography isn't merely a career for me, it's a way of life, my inspiration and my constant companion. Since I was a young boy, given my first 35mm Minolta manual camera, photography has always fascinated me. I still remember the thrill of looking through the viewfinder, focusing the lens, and then the clunk-click of the shutter. Today that excitement still compels me and is what I aim to reflect through my work, whether it's an editorial assignment in Central London, or a photo story of a community in the Moroccan desert. I believe in photography as a tool for change and in its power to deepen our awareness of ourselves and our world - presenting us with both the positive and negative and inspiring or ideas."
