My photography is raw. I want my models to appear as they truly are — irreplaceable, unrepeatable. I aim to spark curiosity in the viewer; if an image explains itself too easily, it risks becoming forgettable. For me, a good photograph tells only half the story, leaving space for the audience to imagine the rest. In that space, the image takes on a life of its own — its own stories, detached from the reality in which it was created.
Like many young photographers , I have been deeply influenced by Nobuyoshi Araki and Kishin Shinoyama. Their work showed me the path toward the kind of photography I create today. I choose my surroundings and locations with great intention, knowing that the setting tells half the story, while the model tells the rest.
In recent years, I have begun incorporating shibari into my work. Shibari is a rich and intricate art form — one that must be understood on its own terms — yet it pairs naturally with my photography. Like the camera, the rope is a medium for emotion, a way to give shape to feelings that cannot be spoken.
