I don't care about traditional photography. I want more control.

My pictures are not really about the children that I photograph. They're more like actors in a film. I think you can always recognize the children, but they are alienated from their real appearance and become more like metaphors.

[My subjects] look lost because that is how I see life. I think we are all a bit lost, lost in a world we can't understand.

The images are compositions of photos superimposed over painted backgrounds, then finished off with digital alterations.

I use different media, but I still think as a painter. I organize my forms and colors on a screen like a painter does on a canvas.

Usually I work with a digital camera and compose my works digitally or give them a finish on the computer, in order to make them meet my ideas perfectly.
