Quotes from the podcast:
»I want to capture the strangeness within the ordinary.«
»I always try to document things that create questions to me.«
»I'm interested in the balance between something that is found and something that is constructed.«
»For me using photography is a way of asking what an image is, what reality is. Photography is a way of asking things about the world.«
»For me photography is a tool.«
»A good image brings more questions than answers.«
»I find it interesting when the photograph as a medium disappears and the image becomes something else.«
