I have always been fascinated by science and my work has a certain affinity with it. Photography is an unusual mixture of technique and perception: the camera acts as a surrogate eye, a mechanical observation device that enables us to capture an image. I am particularly interested in those areas where photography deviates from our day-to-day perception. This is one of the reasons why I have made a study of optical techniques that can be used to increase the scope of our perception. I specialise
in photography through the microscope and in stereoscopic (3D) photography and a combination of both.
