"I like shooting fashion and portraiture because I enjoy creating something that can be enjoyable to look at and something that can have a meaning behind it.

I try to come up with my own ideas but I often take inspiration for new ideas from other photographers, as well as different lighting techniques. I enjoy using models as my subjects because you can change the idea or try something halfway through a photoshoot and you can also ask for the model’s input on how to continue the shoot. I simply think that things are more flexible. You can’t ask a tree to turn around but you can ask a model. I think that my work can differ in feeling from time to time, especially when experimenting. "
