Artist Statement
“My motivation to take photographs comes from a strong fascination by our subjective perception of the world, and the challenge to capture the world in a controlled photographic manner. I aim to investigate the world with a camera, continuously experimenting with the workings of aesthetics, shape, and content, searching for the effect they have in attracting people’s attention with photographic imagery.”
