Men in the street
Currently, I focus on fine art photography – on still lives portraying the strange moments of daily life. I am interested in all phenomena of light and how light transforms the seemingly obvious into a new reality – thus creating the magic of the image.
This particular series portrays men in Lisbon, doing business, selling, negotiating, shopping. My focus is on elderly men in the lower middle class, as eg shop keepers. It is a portrait of life in the streets that is slowly dying out, a traditional southern life style that only the old people still keep up.
