These close-ups are diary pages, capturing my personality and inner experience.

It is a search for self-understanding and identity. Pointing the camera at myself allows me to capture the nuances of emotion, age and experience. Particularly the face, with its complex expressions, lines and textures, is a window to the soul.

These photo’s are a form of visual introspection, where every wrinkle, every look and every shadow tells a part of my life story.

Different lighting, perspectives, makeup or props to explore different facets of my own identity, sometimes distorting reality to reveal a deeper truth, are the essential foundations of these photographs.
