american fairytales
‘I can see light in your darkness. I can see smiles in your sadness. I can imagine a million lives for you, as life is a never-ending fairytale.’
Falling into street photography was like falling in love again. I started seeing many stories, all filled with a sense of wonder for the world around me. I started seeing beauty in these elusive moments that most people would never notice. That’s how my photography started: full of wonder and love for what I was seeing around me, which I soon I realised enabled me to create my own narratives, beyond the boundaries of time and space, which I called American Fairytales.
This series is my vision of an America filled with wonder and beauty, the way I saw it through my lens in those early years. It gave birth to images that are both timeless and playful, mysterious and moody. Captured in black and white, my subjects have become heroes and heroines of a world of their own - a world of fairytales where the imagination prevails, intentionally poetic and beautiful.
