Artist's Statement

My photography is usually about ordinary, every day expressions of life that evolves around us usually passing by without paying attention and which I try to bring them out in a new light. It is about uncovering the small peculiarities that are subtly present around us. My photographs are not shouting to the viewer, instead what I am aiming at is for the viewer to feel the atmosphere that surrounds them and which I hope I have achieved in creating. There is a stage like feeling in many of my photographs, the overall scene is very important to me and it is often that the scenery plays a primary role in my frame. I strive towards the creation of images that can stand individually being content in their elements.
