I am and I am still intending to spend satisfying years as a commercial photographer.

I always enjoy my subjects, which over time have gone back and forth from still life to fashion and celebrities, mostly in the name of advertising.

Outside of my commercial ventures, full of pretty locations, objects of desire and privileged people, I have always found myself coming across and taking photographs of a world which is full of somewhat not so pretty places and populated by somewhat odd people who can often let their inner and latent anger explode to commit various acts of violence towards each other or their environment.

As of late I have felt the need to unveil my fascination with this parallel world where the aggressive and sometimes destructive behavior of people can mirror the one emanating from nature?s most treacherous elements. The result is at times a drastic mutilation of our visual landscape that I find both graphically beautiful and emotionally disturbing.

The last breath, snapshots before nothingness are my treasures.

See it. Shoot it. It?s now or never.
