I come from the entertainment world. I have been an entertainer for 20 years.
When I photograph my daughter, my own flesh and blood, I photograph myself.
Her direct look has shaken my certainties. What I see in her eyes challenges me, as an adult, as a father.
She seems to be asking me : “What have you become?”
When I portray my daughter there is a seriousness at odds with her young age.
I try to evoke the adult’s desperate quest for the mythical image of his or her own childhood; the source of all our emotions.
