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

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.

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

Childhood has been idealised as a lost garden paradise to which we can never return. We are excluded from this world of carelessness, innocence and unity. But the imaginary kingdom is nothing more than a projection of adult ideas and concerns onto the image, an expression of our own yearnings. By photographing children alone, divorced from any social setting, I allow them to exist on their own...I am exploring the equivocal connection between self and world.

I still think as a painter - especially in terms of structuring a picture... I carefully choose the models, costumes, requisites, and backdrops of my photographs.

[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.

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.
