My work is split up into two parts, firstly the setup for the picture and secondly, the ‘retouch work’ on the photography. The face on the image of the original painting is replaced with photographic details, in turn taking on the character of a photo. The photo-realistic faces are then inserted into a contemporary photographic scene. The consciously positioned composition, the lighting and the semantic meaning of the picture’s elements give the end photograph the character of a painting.
