Photographer about his practice:

"I belong to a generation that, in photography, appreciated the uniqueness and charm of the photographic image itself, obtained with light, lens and chemistry. And then the velvety surface of the silver grain and the matte barite base. I still develop films. I still wait for a miracle in red light of a dark room. This is a miracle - a photograph. But there is already another miracle - a figure. And what it allows you to do with an image delights me even more. "
