I'm very old fashioned. I still believe in the image and the pictorial quality of the image. It seems that I'm still busy with a truth in photography.

I believe that photography can only reproduce the surface of things. The same applies to a portrait. I take photographs of people the same way I would take photographs of a plaster bust.

In photography, you always have both the medium and the depicted subject at the same time.

The people have to know what my portraits are like in order to behave in such a way that the result is one of my portraits.

There have to be at least two copies of a photograph, otherwise it’s not a photograph.

I received my training at an art academy, so what I produce is art. That's what is artistic about my photographs.
