REFLECTION

He plays a lot with contrasts, highlighting the dualism of dark and light within his pictures, to the point that the stylistic choice could almost be interpreted as a symbolic choice. Light plays 2 different roles within his images: either it hides everything, covering the subject in a shade of mystery and uncertainty, or it actually does a great job highlighting some details: a certain look, a piece of clothing, a forehead marked by age and heavy work.
