These images are very different. Most of my ideas are spontaneous, because of a special mood or situation. I just try to express my feelings. But sometimes I also read fashion magazines and I am inspired by the pictures.

Most of these pictures were taken in very emotional moments. Later, when I take a look at them, I think about the situation when I took them. They help me somehow to "reprocess" my thoughts and moods - like a diary maybe.

At the beginning of a shoot I often had a completely different idea in my mind and because of something that happened I departed from the original idea.

These self-portraits often depend upon the mood, I am trying to analyze certain situations and feelings. They are also the means of slipping into other roles and hiding out. My work is associated with special moments in my life, like a journey, a special person or a mood – they are a part of me.
