I look for the games created by light and shadows. In my work, my main goal is to offer a fresh look at ordinary things by creating refined and graphic images. I seek the particular point of view, attempting to eliminate…

Back then, you could swap these cameras for another model on sale. Nowadays, I work with digital cameras, which…

I then continued to experiment with light and dark backgrounds, and then food coloring added to the liquid.

Glimmer of hope One idle afternoon in 2010, I grabbed my camera and headed out into the garden. In less than half an hour, I took some thirty photos, from which these are taken.
