Testymonial

I started my career as a photographer with a beaten-up Leica and 35mm lens. Since then I have used many cameras of different formats. In October 2013, I embarked on a 5 months long trip and decided to go back to basics, carrying only an X100S. I enjoyed concentrating on the image and the moment instead of being distracted by changing lenses and zooming in and out.  Shown are some images of Cuba. These photographs form part of my exhibition “Over The Ocean, On The Road” 2016.
