Strangelfreak: From Private to Public

Some moments in life, you feel like you are part of something greater than you.

Lets just say mine is filled with those, and at the same time | understand my role in this circuitry is of observer and motivator, collecting memories in order to share them with others and; by doing so; allowing them to accept parts of themselves that were hidden inside.( Or were simply too shy to come out)

| must admit that it took me a while to be comfortable with myself, in order to enjoy

sexuality as an experimental field that could connect you with others in endless possibilities.

Not as something depraved and sinful, but as a multi-culti-gender-bender-private-public

celebration of life and its array of possibilities.

Most of my pictures are a combination of sexuality and raw colours mixed with a total lack of

respect for photography rules, meaning that the pictures | take correspond to an intimate,

chaotic, and in my perspective, more natural look at individuals. all pictures are made with

people who have an active part in my life (friends), whom | thank for opening up the window

of their private lives and allowing me to recreate a prejudice free perspective on life.

From Private to Public

Surrounded by sexual content in all media and advertising, I

found a general misuse of the theme, and a blatant pressure to make

others feel inadequate in relation to their bodies, feelings, or

preferences.
