Photos

From the beginning of 2020 my photo portraits are mainly in color. The recent color works still stem from the original fascination with observing people, but I now allow myself to be more active in making the image. However, my working method is always documentary and I always work on location. This contributes to the specific qualities of the final image that I wish. It is a great challenge that with my work I will have to transcend the inescapable qualities of the portrait as identity, place and time. However, if I succeed, it is precisely the combination of all the desired properties that will produce the effects I have in mind. By creating a (specific) universality, I try to create a profound connection.
