Photography as a way to playfully descend into the fascinating world of the subconscious, the infinitely layered realm of desires, hope, passion, fears and wisdom. Making that visible, bringing it outward and allowing myself to be surprised and filled with wonder by what emerges from it, that to me makes photography true 'Dreamwork'.
As a theater designer, illustrator, photographer, coach and trainer I always let myself be guided by what is offered from within, in the realisation that what I am given from there, springs from my deepest source.
Therefore, In my photography I am like a child. I play with the available elements around me - light, props, fabrics, backdrops, and of course, the model. The chemistry with my model is vital for the final outcome. And as I play, I seem to uncover more and more of my inner world.
Hopefully, you as a viewer will experience a touch of that.
