PERSONAE

Currently I have developed the interest to photograph people from
different cultures and backgrounds depicting them in a semi-documentary style. I see every person as an individual with his/her own stories and histories, dreams and desires.

In my photographs I try to capture those moments that escape from casual
reality and reveal something of the 'mythic' profile of the photographed person.

I subtitle the outcome, the photograph with the name of the person and the occupation (butcher, singer, housewife, etc.) but the picture is by no means evidence of that, rather it becomes a suggestion of the identity of the person, which I would like
to call a hidden identity.

I aim to construct moments in time where the people free themselves from who they are and what they are and become actors in their very own mise-en-scene. Their spaces become the stage and their poses bring up the possibility of a total new reality, a projection screen for extra imaginary scenarios.
