About the Photographs
My aim is to find a unity between the beauty of the Desert and the Woman.
All models, none of them professional had the right to destroy any slide which was not to their taste.
Technical Details:
Following the wisdom of the great French photographer Cartier Breson, no photographs have been cropped, and none of the colors in these pictures have been manipulated by computer or in the dark room. Enlarging part of a photograph is an easy alternative for an artist who is not fully satisfied with his work; cropping hides part of the overall truth of what the photographer saw, and a partial truth is a form of lie.
These photographs have been created between 1990 and 1999, before the discovery of digital photography.
I have used, 35 m/m slides with the lowest possible A.S.A,only 50 and 80 m/m, lenses and a special filter to soften the focus and to lose detail on the model’s body.
You may ask yourself why in some photographs there are no footprints in the sand. The answer is that by making the model walk towards the sun, where the shadow will be, the footprints are hidden.

She is the symphony of the form: noble and pure like the Desert.

He who dares to insult with pionus foolishness the divine nakedness as indecent makes an inexcusable sacrilege.
because as Blake said: “The nakedness of Woman is the work of God.”

The supreme Beauty is in simplicity …

In the labyrinth of huge quartz crystals, the shapes and the colors are so different that the reality and the dream got confused, and I thought I was no longer on Earth, but another planet.

The opposite of Love is not hate but indifference and boredom …

Man can manipulate Woman but he will never conquer her, because Intuition is greater than reasoning.

The divine sympony of Beauty can be heard at its best in the deepest Silence

Art is the visual manifestation of Beauty. He who love Beauty loves The Great Spirit of Nature.
