I’ve always been drawn to pictures of people.

You can imagine the stories of their lives. Just what are they thinking about? Like creating characters in a role-playing game, I try to imagine their origin stories.

Where did they come from? How did they grow up? What special powers and talents do they have?

Everyone has an origin story.

I can study people through street photography.

In street photography, you document people doing mundane things without the luxury of a planned studio setup or the careful composition of portrait shots.

It’s just you, the streets and your camera.

You are there as an observer of the ebb and flow of life, documenting people’s unfiltered expressions and emotions.
