My Photography, a journey around humankind
The intrinsic nature of humanity has always enthralled me.
I believe that we – humans – are not the best animal species on Earth. On the contrary, we tend to disrespect mother nature, destroying the environment that gives us – and all living species – our vital lifeblood.
Nevertheless, my photographic eye unfailingly goes to observe – and yet admire – our conduct as humans and how we interact with this planet.
On commissioned jobs, through the eyepiece of a camera, I am eager to explore this interaction; where we live (our space), how we behave (our style) and ultimately, the way we treat Mother Nature’s resources (our food).
On personal projects, I love to merge all that space+style, discovering cultures – like in my Life Footprints and European Diaries series. Sometimes I get a thrill out of playing with our human nature – like on Those Seven Deadly Things – where, taking inspiration from the theological catalogue of the forbidden weaknesses, I enjoy depicting my own “comedy on humankind”.
