Artist's Statement

In my artistic work I go deep into reality and try to figure out what is real and what only looks real. By using a camera as my tool I try to study my environments, people around me and myself. I will not reveal great truths, but tell little white lies of which behind each there’s a glimpse of something very real and delicate.

For me, photography is never about capturing the perfect shot, but exactly the opposite. It’s about dealing with the vulgar reality of actual experience. Unsuccessful moments will bring a whole range of emotions with them. And usually the perfect shot would kill the moment because it’s just too vulnerable to be captured that way.

The most important thing in my art works is the intense connection between me and my subjects and that way the connection remains strong also between the photographs and the viewer. I like to think that I’ve been influenced by such artists as Nan Goldin, Larry Clark and Weegee.

I always work in series and consider my works as experimental investigations on the other side of documentary photography.
