A Moment Of Movement
‘Give me a camera and I shall move the world’, is my photographic short take on Archimedes’,’, ‘Give me a place to stand on, and I shall move the world.’, his explanation on the principle of the lever.
In my work, I find inspiration in many forms of architecture, constructions and living organisms and I usually focus on the structure of those lines, shapes, and angles and how they communicate and interact with each other. But while I enjoy photographing those constructs, at the same time, I also ask myself, “what if...or how would they move, if they were set free.” Creating these images involves placing myself in a position so that I can go around, under, over and sometimes through an object with the camera as an extension of myself. Each in-camera image review, shows me how to take the next exposure and often it is accompanied with a sense of previsualization of the final image I want to create, that will make a stronger visual impact for the viewer. Without a tripod I use body, arms, hands, and LIVE view to see it happen in real time. I become one with the camera. So, this is why I am ‘moved’ to create a new life for images that can stand on their own or comfortably reside in a community of images that share uniqueness.
