Informations about the artist

"Yes, because the black and white transforms our vision, leading us beyond the offered reality. Thinking in black AND white obliges one to ponder on the composition, on the lines of strength, on the contrasts. Thus I am the photographic eye and the composer of space – the graphist. For me being a photographer is like being displaced. Armed with my camera I can sketch the visual and try to maintain the balance of the construction that I have before me. It is instantaneous. Nothing is foreseen or decided. It’s a pure moment ripped from time, space, light. Like an eaux-fortes engraving it is the chemicals that reveal the chosen moment – revealing the unique and the essential. "
