Listen to a piece of information, and three days later, you’ll remember 10 per cent of it. Look at a picture and it stays with you forever. You only photograph what you love or care about. You only photograph what you are curious about. As a street photographer, I photograph people, things and scenes where I can see my own soul.

Serendipity is simply my unsheltered intention. Serendipitous photos to me are poetic and mythical.

They consist of various factors such as proximity, similarity, intuition, direction and closure. I always asked myself: “Why do I want to take this picture? It라이브 바카라 important to ask “WHY” rather than “HOW”.

“Why” is the reason I started taking photographs. Photography to me is about expressing myself and to discover who I am. I try to be intuitive. I take photographs that are spontaneous, transitory and instinctual. These photographs are taken in a fraction of a second, they are very blink-and-you-miss-it. This is something that is very ‘YOU’ and this is what I tried to emulate in the series—SERENDIPITY.
