These are photographs of my children: my children living their lives and just being themselves; my children who live in a world of their own, a world
where time doesn't matter and where the simplest thing can be a source of joy. They are happy and unselfconscious, with minds open to the wonders
of the world. These photographs document the magical world of their childhood expressed in the simple moments of their daily life, the moments
that happen in every family and that often pass by quickly and unnoticed, the sad moments, the happy moments and the normal nothing-is-happening
moments, because the magic is always there.
I photograph them living their lives, playing, dressing up, blowing bubbles, running around naked, painting their bodies, being hurt, laughing, crying and
just being children. I photograph them to freeze these magic instants and make them eternal through a collection of images which provide a truthful and
intimate documentary of their childhood before they turn into adults and the magic is gone. They are the unselfconscious models fully focused on their
own self and their own world. No multi-tasking, no rushing and no time constraint. This is for the world of adults. Time stops as I photograph them or
maybe it flies or maybe it just doesn't matter.
