Pregnant
At one point, I saw a pregnant woman sitting on the sidewalk begging for money. Self-absorbed people with their mobile phones passed by without showing any interest in her difficult situation.
Here I have tried to recreate such a moment with friends as actors and with an environment that is consistent with what I saw and that touched me a lot.
I also take arranged pictures where I direct friends and acquaintances who act as actors. My ambition is to entertain, provoke and touch.

entry description
When I was in New York in 2016, I noticed that many people walked around with their mobile phones on a selfie stick. They were stuck in a bubble where they really showed that they loved and admired themselves. They did not really care about their surroundings if it could not become a decorative background in the filming.At one point, I saw a pregnant woman sitting on the sidewalk begging for money. Self-absorbed people with their mobile phones passed by without showing any interest in her difficult situation.

about the photographer
I've always had a keen interest in photography in various forms. I have devoted myself to this in parallel with my professional life as a teacher. I am a self taught photographer who loves to photograph people in different situations especially in the Street Photography genre. It is exciting and interesting to observe and photograph both when traveling in different countries and at home. It often becomes pictures with humor and commitment that guide me when I depict reality.I also take arranged pictures where I direct friends and acquaintances who act as actors. My ambition is to entertain, provoke and touch.
