My journey in photography started when I was 13; while traveling around Europe in summer for my studies, I began taking color pictures with an old Nikon.

Over the years -- as a student, travel professional, and now mother -- I've lived in Europe, the U.S. and Asia, and through it all photography is still with me.

The images I take now are strictly black and white; Nikon is still my favorite camera, although I am increasingly fascinated by medium format.

People often tell me I should focus on digital, but I love the craft of developing and printing my own pictures, frustrating as it might be at times!!...

My subjects have also changed over the years. I still enjoy travel photography and its ability to help me discover new places, but I am now very compelled by documentary photography as a tool to 'explain' and understand different realities.

Ultimately though, every picture I take is about light in its simplest form, in its most intimate detail.

I am still far from achieving the pictures I really love, which is why this is truly a journey, a journey in Black and White.
