The [Lucid] Dreamer as Signature.
My photography is all about creating images that strike a balance between reality and somehow somesort of a dreamworld.
My (personal) work and my vision characterizes itself by recurrent elements in the search for aesthetic and beauty. It is (mostly)colorful, searches for shapes and involves symbolic meanings, feelings or even elements as most of my own projects and ideas are coming from what I have seen in my dreams.
I love working with mixed light techniques to create a playful yet elegant aesthetic.
Personal difficulties or cognitions go from question marks to explanation points during personal projects and are the corner stones for building these stories; playful in a mature way.
Signature vs Client needs.
Capturing fashion for me is a way to express myself and make me feel alive. A playground where I can use the elements around me to create, for a moment, new worlds and new stories. As far as creating goes for clients (Lookbook or campaign photography, stills, content creation or editorial): I use my elements or keep them close to me while translating their needs into their visual expectations. This way of creating or collaborating is, I believe, most cohesive for both. Each project, whether it is a campaign for a fashion brand or an editorial for a magazine, is approached with the same dedication and love to turning an idea into a visual story.
Whether shooting on location or in the studio, I focus on capturing fashion in a mood that is both stylish and sometimes a little quirky.
Working with children on fashion shoots is a unique skill I have mastered the last couple of years and really enjoy doing.
Besides nearly 14 years of experience in fashion photography, I also developed the skill to create stories out of concept ideas. Visualitation, concept creation and production are part of my repertoire.
