His photography is accurate playback thoughts.The greatest pleasure is the end result of his work with photography. Because the ideas are formed long before they realize they must have everything well planned, taking into account the smallest details. Such a process, and above all, planning is a sense of security that what we create will accurately reflect how his ideas.

The theme of his work is mainly a man, his experiences, dreams, fears, emotions.In October 2016, he completed his debut project “transition”.
