• Annotation:     

Taj Mahal - a work group. Challenged to find an original point of view to capture this popular monument, already photographed by myriads of people before me, I chose an act of indiscretion, shooting the viewfinders of the tourists’ cameras during their intimate exchange with the architecture, which would almost forensically reconstruct every particular camera’s steps leading to a perfect souvenir shot.


• Technical Statement:     


The images shown here represent only the digital files. The actual works are inkjet prints on polycarbonate or glass, shimmed with a variety of media that endow the pictures with a sensual, almost painterly quality, not normally found in photographs and add a radiance to the inks that is close to the original RGB colors, the realm of light I'm so drawn to.
