Artist Statement:
Although I have covered a wide
range of subjects through the
years, from avantgarde jazz to
Egypt and from house parties
to gypsies, I am basically a
street photographer. My main
subject is "people in their
social environment", and I
consider Garry Winogrand to be
the personification of this
style of contemporary
personalized documentary. His
work has had a decisive
influence on my personal
style. It can still be felt as
my style keeps evolving over
the years.
STREET PHOTOGRAPHY
Street photography is very
often a completely
misunderstood categorization,
as many portfolios and blogs
about streets and buildings
under that heading testify.
Real street photography is,
however, concerned with people
in their daily (often urban)
surroundings. This style of
photography is fast and
intuitive, related to
documentary photography, but
highly individualized.
MY BEST IMAGES
As my best images I consider
those that show a situation
which is of psychologic or
sociologic interest, enigmatic
rather than explanatory, and I
am at the same time aiming at
certain iconic aesthetics. I
am aware that by the choices I
make in my photography I am
showing a personal reality
which is not necessarily
objective, but my view on
life, no less. ...
