1. Portraiture is an emotional journey, one of empathy and introspection towards the person we photograph. Have you ever had a diary in which you collected photographs? If so, what kind of relationship did you have with it? What did you include or write in it?<\/h6>\n

I began taking photographs as a form of diary, to preserve a record and memory of my experiences. Each shot is a way to fix a moment in my memory, making it indelible. I\u2019ve never had the consistency to keep a written diary, but for me, every photograph is a page from my visual journal.<\/p>\n

2. How did your passion for portraiture begin? What qualities do you look for in this type of photography?<\/h6>\n

My passion for portraiture stems from a need to connect with others, to build a relationship that goes beyond words. I\u2019m a shy person, and photography is my way of reaching out to people\u2014even those closest to me, like my family. For me, a portrait is a moment of intimacy, in which I try to understand the other person and, at the same time, discover something about myself.<\/p>\n

3. If you had to make a quick escape with one object in hand, what would it be? Would you share a photo of it, taken by you?<\/h6>\n

A camera would be an obvious answer, so I\u2019ll say my binoculars.<\/p>\n
