For several years he has been carrying out personal research into natural and other themes.
In 2002 Art Unlimited, in cooperation with the World Press Foundation, selected a picture that was entered for the World Press Photo contest 2001 to make a postcard.

In 2014 and 2016, he was Honorable mention in two editions of IPPAWARDS. (world contest for iphone).
