Interview
Why photography?
From when I first used my Pentax Camera, with Black and white film, I was in love with photography. And 40 years later, the love is still continuing.
Your inspiration?
I’m always fascinated by people all around the world; Africa, India, and Bali. This inspires me to always capture the beauty of Indigenous cultures.
What is unique in your photographs?
I visited the same people multiple times and I grew a relationship with the people I’m taking pictures of. This relationship can be seen in the expression and the ease of my subject.
Your motto ?
Images with soul…
