I don’t call myself a “photographer” because it would be incomplete.  I have two further passions: writing and playing djembè (the African drum). In theory, you should choose a way to specialize and be realized, but perhaps this concept does not apply to everyone. Personally I would feel castrated if I had to sacrifice two of these passions in the name of the specialization of just one. In the field of photography I think that the ideal condition is to make money doing what you want. Otherwise it becomes difficult and sometimes demeaning. For many years I worked in a field of photography (tourism) in which I couldn’t express myself.  I currently work in corporate security, and I take pictures that I love, I live peacefully and I do not feel frustrated. When I was younger I have worked in fashion and advertising as an assistant. I do not like to use a team. In fact I shoot at home in an intimate and private situation.
