Process Statement
In my work, there is a certain prevailing theme which has something to do with light, movement and atmosphere. I do love playing with rhythms, light, and lines.
I often place landscape in the foreground, inside light, and compose space from the running lines. A play of light and shade when light shines in darkness.
Photo, for me, is not about reproducing the world. I’m not interested in making an accurate copy of what I see out there. I’m attracted to places where stories can take place, where imagination can be fired.
My goal isn't to produce something decorative but to share a poetic feeling in order to emphasize imagination.
