My work is all about analogue double
exposures and manipulation of images.
The editing process is, for me, the
most important part of creating a
photograph.
I have an idea in mind (usually an
emotional state). That’s my starting
point. Then I choose a model for my
scene. After that, it’s all about editing.
I look through my collection and mix
negatives of details with my subjects.
I cut the image, reassemble its parts
and photograph it again. I don’t really
want to tell a story with a beginning,
development and end, but I want to
communicate a moment, a feeling.

Creating double exposures in
the darkroom is a very technical
experience, all based on calculating
the exact amount of seconds you
need to leave your photos floating in
the liquids. With analogue doubleexposures you make the time, not only
the abstract time that will show on the
image, but also the real ‘clock’ time.
There isn’t any other tool that gives you
so much control on the image-making
process.
