CREATIVE PORTRAITS

In my photographic work I always try to seek a dialogue with the portrayed subject. This is because a shot is often born from a “courtship” of reality, which provides the slowness of a wait, the ability to contemplate in silent solitude, with an attitude of careful dedication of the eye and mind.

It is very difficult to photograph individuals or faces.
It is impossible to bring someone into focus photographically when you are so little able to get them into focus psychologically. Human beings are such sites of mise-en-scéne, such complex (de)construction, that the lens strips them of their character in spite of themselves. They are so laden with meaning that it is almost impossible to separate them from that meaning to discover the secret form of their absence.
