6. How do you feel when people interpret your work differently?
I do respect any interpretation; when I publish an image it is then up to the audience to judge and analyze.
7. Do you find London more inspiring than other places?
Inspiration is in my head. I love being in new places but they don't really inspire more but feelings are.
8. Where do you go in London, and what do you do in London to get inspired?
Luckily, I work at Resistance gallery. I have never seen a place with so much diversity in every sense. It is a highly visual place with lots of images that fill my head. From Mexican wrestling, performances, exhibitions, vampire nights, Japanese bondage...
There are several artists whose works I adore like Witkin, Godart, Bergman, Saudek. I love collecting images and have big passion for old time photography
and cinema.

As I mention I work in the Resistance Gallery where many amazing events are happening. It is a very visual place: with wrestlers, beautiful fire dancers and Kimbaku which is an art itself. Many artists with great works exhibit here; it is the place where a creative mind wants to live.

20.Would you like to use this opportunity to carry a message to other artists, photographers or in general? Not at all. I was never good at giving advise.
