"Nude" is a way to see the body as an artistic object. "Naked" is to see the person.
I am much more interested in nakedness - emotional as well as physical. When masks are removed.
And while we are discussing the subject - do you chose to wear your mask everywhere? Always? Are you prepared to strip completely naked even when you are alone?
Sometimes, being in front of a camera can be the opportunity to investigate these questions.
I use my photography to ask these questions of the people I photograph, and through them also discover things about myself.
