"All journeys have secret destinations of which the traveller is unaware" - Martin Buber
I wanted to capture the landscapes of Varanasi in India. A place that is rooted in ancient cultures and traditions. My journey was a experience that at times including spiritual sensations of peace and stillness. These moments of more intimate access enabled me to photograph the city in personal ways, capturing moods, atmospheres and quiet private glimpses into day to day life where the past and present, eternity and continuity co-exist.
(This is a selected range of pictures from a longterm project).
My passion for photography started at young age when I bought my first camera, and soon found myself taking a camera with me wherever I went. At the same time, I began reading about photography and photographers, and gradually learned how to use picture taking to express moods and feelings, and to explore different subjects similar to the ways ethnologists study people and their relationships. I often use minimal equipment and natural light, driven by curiosity, but most importantly by the connections I make with my subjects.
