His work is characterized by meticulous detail and a commitment to capturing the subtleties of human expression and urban life, often using graphite and pencil to achieve a photorealistic effect.

Observations

The style uses stark black-and-white portrait photography with strong tonal separation, visible grain, and dense facial detail. Multiple elderly faces, reflections, and overlapping exposures are layered into cinematic, psychologically intense compositions with a somber, weathered atmosphere.
