Many believe that specialising in a niche can benefit photographers by helping them develop a distinctive style and expertise. On the other hand, exploring a variety of subjects can spark creativity and often makes financial sense.
I have always had a strong interest in nature, which led me to study natural sciences. Five years at university deepened my appreciation for the natural world, especially the beauty and intricacy of trees and delicate coastal ecosystems. Before long, however, I found myself immensely drawn to seascape photography. I spent most of my summer holidays by the sea, so water has always felt like my natural environment. It is where I feel most at ease and most inspired.
A few years later, architecture began to emerge as another key subject in my work. While my interest in design played a big part, architecture offers more than aesthetics—it reflects culture, environmental context, and complex engineering. I strongly believe every building tells a story, revealing its impact on people and its relationship with the surrounding space. I always try to uncover that connection and understand the architect’s vision and intention. This diversity in subject matter reflects my need for creative freedom and my resistance to limiting what or how I photograph. As we continue to learn and grow throughout our lives, so too should our photography evolve. After all, variety is the spice of life, and embracing change keeps it interesting.
