Emotion dominates my images, a quality without which my vision of beauty would not exist.

My models are people who intrigue or interest me because of what they are like or how they move. As I look at them through the lens, they transform into characters from a film or novel.

Through the use of subtle lighting, I attempt to transport the viewer’s mind to unsettling scenes, beyond the boundaries of the photograph,towards a series of previous and subsequent imaginary moments.

I take photographs with the intention to provoke tension though the delicacy and abstraction of my characters. Faces and bodies wander in an atmosphere of mystery and fragility without offering a clear message and as such preserving the subjectivity of the viewer.

I push my models to surrender their true selves, drawing looks from them which transmit the emotional deterioration of my characters and reveal the insinuations and identities that proceed from my memories and my subconscious.
