My personal passion lays at analogue photography, because the working process appeals to me. The way of analogue shooting and the creation of the image is for me more of a challenge than when I shoot an image digitally. I let myself be inspired by real live situations drawn from current events. When I'm shooting I try to play with the composition and form. What inspired by constructivism with its lines and proportions
The urge in a photographic search of what reality is and how this affected the human spirit is currently the one that triggers me to push the button. The urge to capture things systematic documentary with the essence of all that happened. And that to capture that form the essential in a visual language for myself.
Hereby I’m working on the consciousness of the people in their movement through time. Certainly with the urge of two realities, consciously and unconsciously, at once. Relationships in the past, present and future. Parallel views provides us with an interesting interfaces.
