Looking with the eye of an architect, I celebrate the geometry of the human body by expressing the beauty in the shapes and shadows of the female figure. With the use of lighting and movement I try to express accurately in pictures the beauty of a woman in a classical, sensual way, stripped of eroticism and sexuality, by capturing the essence and simple beauty of the woman I am photographing. Curves which escape and spill out into melodies, or into spiralling arabesques and curved lines, studies of curvatures and creases, hands and forearms folded over supple skin – painted by the light.
