“Since I’m used to working on commissions, I can adapt quickly to new environments, work very hard and very fast. To work on this project, where I have to realise a number of images in a short period of time, I decided to do colour digital photography. This way I can see the pictures when I’m taking them, which is very important.
My approach is to combine portraits of workers with surreal abstract photographs of the environment in order to bring my personal vision of the place, add another dimension to the traditional setting, and give a new life to customary objects.”
