In Private Places

As a man, my look at women cannot be disassociated from the long history of western Art and the heavily criticized “Male Gaze”. It is with open eyes that I tread in this cultural mine field, striving to see the uniqueness bellow the surface, to resist the cultural and social dictates about the photographed body, to tackle expected gender roles and, finally, to look inside.

I use the camera to enter women's most private and intimate spaces to create with them a “detached place” that has the explosive potential for the unexpected that will expose yet another reality in the resulting image. I don't attempt to discover the subjects “real self”. Rather, I want the viewer, even the savvy one, to believe, to forget and to give-in to the fantasy.
