ALMOST CLOSE

With these photographs, whether spontaneous or intentionally composed, I aim to bridge the distance between viewer and subject to offer a closer look at the individuals and moments that define their stories. Sometimes candid, sometimes staged, each image seeks to capture the essence of the subject—inviting you to connect with their emotions, acting and narratives on a more personal level - let’s get almost close.
