Fast moving subjects can be incredibly tough to capture no matter what camera system you use. One of the best things that any photographer can have is foresight into knowing and predicting what’s about to happen in front of you–and that requires you to pay a lot of attention to the scene.

“I am a firm believer that the image exists in the interaction between subject and photographer, and not actually in the camera,” says Charlie Naebeck, in reference to his Kinetic series, “A lot of photographers are the other way around where they think the end game is what is important.

I have always valued analog photography over digital as there is simply no way of getting the same result out of latest technologies as much as I get it from the good old film. Well, at least to satisfy my needs and maintain my photography style that you might have noticed has evolved to a clear and romantic side which is proudly called the “Fine Art Photography”. Yet I try to maintain my own point of view here as well and not merge with the numerous artists that hold the classical label.
I consider myself a generalist. My interest tend change with my surroundings, though lately I’ve been leaning more towards street and portrait photography. I sustain a few paid gigs a month, I wouldn’t consider myself a professional just yet. My lack of a specialty comes from my desire to explore the art of photography in its entirety. I was introduced to the art form through street photography, then quickly developed a passion for landscape photography and most recently portraiture. Regardless of the subject matter, my approach to crafting a photograph remains fairly consistent. I take a slow and measured approach. I take the time to define and contextualize what my subject is and what type of feelings I want to elicit in my photo. Once I have that idea, I allow myself the freedom to experiment and allow my imagination take over.
