A series of naked self portraits
To be in front of the camera is like be in front of a crowd. You feel empowered sometimes, proud others and fragile and exposed in other opportunities.
That’s the feeling behind this series, self exposure, fragility, fear, despair, loneliness. It’s me naked in front of the crowd, a middle age man with some over height, full of fears and complexes I stand like the man of Borge’s tale in front of the battalion ready to shoot.
Is a series of honest portraits, maybe with an excess of honesty, not pretensions, not masks, only me in all my glory and tragedy.
Before I ask someone to do something in front of the camera I feel is my duty to have made the same. These photographs are part of my tests before ask models to do something in particular.
