Empty Space

Yesterday I found an empty store. It occupied an entire ground floor between two streets and the warm late afternoon light entered through the doors facing west. The blue of the sky and the houses behind me were reflected in the glass of the window in front of me, as well as the reflections of cars and people passing by and coming in and out of the empty space of the store, transforming it into a surreal scene. Yesterday I searched, observed and found another street miracle.

Everyday Colours

Finding subtle form of harmony in the mundane. Finding beauty of things that we often overlook. Finding emotions in colour combinations. Documenting my hometown.

Secrets

My shadow or my reflection photographs, span virtually my work as a symbolic language. The narratives contained within these photographs confronted me with descriptions of my Self. I can be both behind the camera and in front of it. So, there is an interplay between the shadow and the part of the world inside framing. By imposing my shadow, I participate in the story and the composition. I photograph and am photographed at the same time. My shadow is proof that I was in two places at the same time and introduces a factor that enhances the composition. I must say that I did not invent anything new. Big names in photography like Lee Friedlander and Vivian Maier (for example) took many photos with their own image.
