Today (Artist Statement)
In the broadest sense of photographic genres, I am interested in landscapes. I aim to capture what I see as situations. Often these situations depict a transition in process.
When my photographs contain people, I am also interested in showing signs of transition. Be it from one situation, mood or condition to another; the aim is to document our ever-changing lives.
To me a person exists not only with and within an environment, I experience people or parts of them as landscapes too. These places, with their emotional connections, play the main role.
I am fascinated by ambiguity, synchronicities and absurd associations. At their most powerful, and full of life's complexities, they tell the viewer a story. It is this incomprehensibility that I want to explore.
Topographical photographs are usually made in a rather slow process, often with a tripod. When focusing on people, I photograph them more candidly.
Having started my studies proclaiming and actually believing that I was interested in everything, I find myself now drawn to those moments that seem to show nothing while unveiling everything.
I divide my practice between personal projects and architectural photography.
