J.C Who Is This Guy?

Fineart print on pearl paper . Mounted on 5 mm acid free foam board . Framed, with art glass 70 x 100 cm To me, photography connects with language, harmony, sound and the invisible world. I work in a personal, intuitive and playful manner, looking for, collecting and composing a visual language in the style of journal photography. I am attracted to light, ambience, infrastructure, minimalism, and graphic tension, and use the city and my every day surroundings as a playground for my need to compose images. Before «finding» photography, I worked in fashion, and has since I was a child made collages from pictures in glossy magazines. Photography suits me well, because of my fast energy and my need for visual, harmonious satisfaction. I stage both myself, my surroundings and my images by alternative post production and video collages. The piece presented here is from a very personal project.
