I became passionate about photography in childhood when my father gifted me my first camera. This was my first step into the world of visual art. I always felt that through the lens, I could see and convey something special that often goes unnoticed in everyday life.
Over time, photography transformed from a hobby into something deeper. The genre of still life holds a special place in my heart, but I truly began to explore it after moving to Germany. Here, I started to carefully construct my compositions, paying close attention to every detail, finding unique inspiration in the stillness and symmetry of the setups. Modern editing software has allowed me to add the depth and atmosphere I aim to convey in my work. Now, my still lifes are not just photographs but an attempt to create an ambiance, evoke emotions, and tell a story through each frame.
Photography has always been more than just a picture for me; it’s a kind of dance of objects. I often envision it like this: a folk ensemble is dancing, where each object in the frame has its own character, its own movements, and its own role. They interact with one another, intertwining to create a harmonious composition. It’s almost an intuitive process — I shoot as if in a trance, not thinking about each detail but yielding to my inner feelings and flow. And although I find it hard to articulate what exactly I am trying to express, I believe that viewers will feel it themselves.
