Taking a portrait is a responsibility. It’s like looking at another person’s life, all at once.
There is beauty in it, and there is much more: past, present, and future. What used to be, what’s now, what is going to be, is all right there for you to see, to show, to photograph.

Taking a portrait is a challenge: the outfit, the location, the time of the day, the mood, the light, the posing, the expressions, the lenses, the angles: it all matters. It’s really stressful sometimes. And yet you wanna do it more and more…

Taking a portrait is an honor. The image will have to stand against the time that passes and changes everything. The photographer ts called to witness this for the generations to come.

But more than anything else, taking a portrait is taking a deeper look into yourself. For it doesn’t matter how hard I try, there is no way I can’t see myself in my portraits, a glimpse of my life, my memories, my laughters, my expectations, my problems, my future.
When I started photography, I did it because I needed something to remind me that I was alive. The places I would visit, the things I would do. As time went by, I realized that it was never about the places or the things, but always about the people I would meet that that gave me life, that made me feel made me the person I was.
As I become I, I say you.
