Recently, I have been hosting a STUDIO WALK IN DAY every few weeks, which has resulted in wonderful connections, conversations, and, of course, images. It has reminded me why I chose this profession and why I never want to give it up. In recent years, I have mainly focused on editorial work. I've photographed super exciting stories and amazing people and traveled all over the country. I wouldn't want to miss that, and it's still an absolute privilege for me to earn my living this way. But I realized once again how much I've missed this personal interaction, this photography with the sole aim of creating beautiful and authentic images in which people recognize themselves. And nothing else. No meta-level, no crazy story, no “I only had 1.27 minutes for the portrait.” Of course, all of that has its appeal, that's clear. But it's also damn exhausting, and the stress of declining fees and dwindling publishers is real. Until recently, I wasn't sure if I still wanted to be a photographer or if I should become an undertaker instead. Seriously.
And now, yes, now I think the cemetery can wait. I want to photograph all of you. -
