The Portrait series shows people in their personal or professional surroundings. The photos always show only parts of the person, never a complete shot of the entire person.

Intimate or special details from the person’s life are shown around the person, most of them as macro shots in which the subjects are not necessarily recognisable.

The person in the portrait is the only one who knows the significance behind each detail. The overall composition is a composite of many small secrets that can be revealed only by the portrayed person him- or herself. He/she decides whether to reveal the secrets to others or to leave them in the dark. The composition of the pictures shows the portrayed person in such a way that a completely new perspective is revealed. And yet, he or she is immediately recognisable to everyone.
