"For me, photography is an important way of communicating with the
world. Because of the camera, I’ve found myself in places and situations I would probably never have experienced if I hadn’t been a photographer.
Photography is an addiction. You see a frame and suddenly you can’t not take it. And until you get that one shot you had in mind, you can’t really let it go.”
What makes you stop and take a photograph?
“Some voice inside me just tells: 'You can’t miss this shot!'”
Do you photograph a place differently when you know you may never return?
“Every time you return to some place, it could be the same, but you are different.”
What does nostalgia mean to you?
“All the good memories from the past, which make our present a little brighter. It’s a bonfire, you can warm yourself by when it gets dark and cold.”
Finish the sentence: Photography isn not ________.
