It is not enough to love your camera, to love photography and to love travel. Good portraits are about loving people, other humans, those that co-inhabit our earth. Looking at them with compassion, togetherness, curiosity and the wish to belong to this fascinating and colorful range of humanity.
I totally agree. Otherwise photographs look cold, as seeing the work of a surveillance camera or an automatic device and not a person. Yours have heart : )

That Black white image of grand ma & cigar was mindblowing. Ur third eye captures 1000s of 1000 stories.

Your photos tell a story. The lady, or ladies, look to be in pain, but theres also some enjoyment on her face. Its like shes ready to die, but wants to savor her last smoke.

I’m not sure which of your photographs I like best (you do have quite a wide range) but I think your portraits are unique. Old people in particular. All that those eyes have seen – and has gone away forever. Trés beau. Have a lovely week.

Love your street and people photography. I love to take these types of photos but always feel as if I am imposing or invading their privacy. Do you approach and ask permission or do you use telephoto lens and just go for it?
