My photography depicts realistic situations that hold a certain theatricality. I am intrigued by the unexpected extraordinarity of everyday settings, which can be surrealistic, poetic or outright puzzling. I compose the photographic registrations of these settings according to my aesthetic beliefs, carefully choosing my frame and light to heighten the surrealism of the situation.
Generally, I start a project by documenting a specific area. I collect images or objects from an environment or situation and use them as the foundation for my work. The collected images become photographic registrations once I’ve adjusted the frame and the light. I use the found objects in balancing acts or installations, which I then take photos of.
