Self Portrait


I am a photographer for more than 30 years and the last time I did a self-portrait was when I was in photography school. No one like to have their picture taken. It is a tough process of being aware of yourself, what you look like and how you are perceived. You really want to control the outcome, but you really can't. No wonder I only take other people pictures. Unfortunately didn't figure out how to do a moving portrait of myself.







Mother and Daughter portrait


Another mixed portrait - stills and video of a mother and a daughter.

Gaia's girlfriends series.






I have started a series of Gaia's girlfriends. This is part one of the series where I document a group of girlfriends over the years capturing the unique dynamics and energies of such friendship.

This was intended to be an interactive work, but after working on the piece I realized that the best would be to live it as a never ending loop. The thing that I noticed watching the stills and the videos is that they have their own big world between them and there is no way for an outsider to get in. I also decided that the stills in this case have almost the same weight as the moving portrait, so this work is a combination of stills and a video that tries to give us, the outsiders a glimpse to their "secret society" dynamics.
