"diCorcia alternates between informal snapshots and iconic quality staged compositions that often have a baroque theatricality.[2] Using a carefully planned staging, he takes everyday occurrences beyond the realm of banality, trying to inspire in his picture's spectators an awareness of the psychology and emotion contained in real-life situations.[3] His work could be described as documentary photography mixed with the fictional world of cinema and advertising, which creates a powerful link between reality, fantasy and desire.[4" -source: Wikipedia
