in a nutshell

Photography is essentially nothing else than light, angle and story.

Light – or absence thereof – defines all colors, shades and contrasts.

Angle is both freedom and limitation of the artistic work: freedom to select, interpret and construct “reality” paired with the tyranny of its confinement in a static, limited, two-dimensional space.

Light and angle determine all aspects of harmony and elegance and therefore the aesthetics.

Story is the soul.

Therefore photography – real photography – does not happen on its own; it must be “thought”.
