The life in 21st century presents a series of large digitally manipulated
photographic prints comprise beautifully composed photographs, scanned,
digitally treated and manipulated. At their heart, the images are classic
portrait photography, but with a montage of extra objects in a surrealistic twist
on the digital retouching techniques of modern marketing and advertising.
