I am trying to find people, children and adults the same, who are dreamers. People who look with their eyes, somewhere, and go inside themselves. People who have something different in their face. I always focus on the eyes, first contact, then the face. I really don't care about the body. People can have a beautiful body or what someone could call an ugly body with all the marks. It does not matter to me.

They open their intimate thoughts up to me. With light, people are fragile and they try to protect themselves and nothing is open. I talk to them very quietly, in a peaceful way and they open their door for me. Although some remain locked even in the darkness, most of them let me go inside themselves.

I want to capture the souls of the people I photograph. When I think deeply about it, it comes from when I was young. When I was a kid, I was very very shy and actually afraid of adults. When I grew up, I wondered why and tried to find out why I was so afraid. I am trying to catch this secret to understand this fear I had when I was young. If I had to frame my own childhood in one single picture, I would say, without the slightest hesitation, that his image would be full of seriousness; it would be as serious as the future full of hopes and doubts, fears and questions, that I sensed looming toward me from off in the distance.
