"I photograph many men, some of them quite athletic and beautiful. Some images have sexual elements. Others are as sweet as can be, show men in brotherly attitude. The sexual tension may be on the look of those who see.The fascination for the beauty is what moves my work and try to understand this universe male complex and simple. "

I would love to have many choices of clothes to wear my models, as I do not have, I invest in direction. I try to always be the closest of them, I try to be very intimate and I always try to expose them to the maximum. I always worried photographer to show this passion, I know that for some people I am repetitive, without style, plus I always say that now I do not sell clothes. I am loyal to my intuition and my life, this is my passion
