"Reflected reality is the essence of reality, the truer truth.
When I was a child I played a pictorial game. I would, for example, observe a landscape; trees and clouds and horses wandering in grass; then select a detail from the overall vision - say, grass bending in the breeze - and frame it with my hands. Now this detail became the essence of the landscape and caught, in prismatic miniature, the true atmosphere of a panorama too sizable to encompass otherwise. Or if I was in a strange room and wanted to understand the room and the nature of its inhabitants, I let my eye wander selectively until it discovered something - a shaft of light, a decrepit piano, a pattern in the rug - that seemed of itself to contain the secret.
All art is composed of selected detail, either imaginary or (...) a distillation of reality."

Truman Capote in 'The Dogs Bark'.

Some of my photographs may look like watercolours, none however, have been touched by paint or modified digitally (except where clearly indicated).

The square-shaped photographs were taken with a Polaroid SX-70*. The images remain ‘liquid’ for about 30 minutes, allowing me to ‘move’ and modify them manually, by applying pressure, pinching, rubbing, heating, cooling, etc. The Polaroid SX-70 is then re-photographed in a studio to obtain a negative, which is enlarged and printed, after chromatic corrections.
(*) Since they have stopped producing the Polaroïd SX-70, the square shaped photographs are now digitally created.

The rectangular photographs are traditional type photographs taken with a 35mm camera.
They have not been retouched.


Colours, contrast, definition and general quality of the images shown on this website are often of inferior quality to the photographic print.
Quality and settings of your monitor and video card also make a difference.
I can therefore not be held responsible for any differences in quality between the images shown on this website and the photographic prints.
