Statement
I love working with people. Since I first became a photographer, my imagery has always revolved around people. Hardly anyone enjoys being photographed, most people are shy or don’t want the attention it brings with it. You have to create an atmosphere for people to feel comfortable in order to achieve closeness and intimacy. Luckily, I have worked for a large variety of clients in very different areas: book and magazine publishers, corporate as well as art institutions, and that kind of mix has made me appreciate the individuality of every commission. I love meeting people from different worlds and I try to tell every story in a different kind of way. Yet, most of all, I love the exchange that happens when photographing people, wether within a studio as part of a large production team, on location or often just on my own. Photography is this unique tool that can create togetherness.
