What advice would you give to aspiring
photographers who want to tackle subjects
like body image and gender in their work?
Keep on going. Just do it. Get it out there. Don’t
waste time thinking about whether it’s good or
bad, or if it has been done already. Ambition is
sexy, so never lose your excitement for creating.
How do you see your photography evolving
in the future, and are there any new themes
you’re eager to explore?
I am a bit old-school in the way I see and do
photography. I didn’t invent the wheel. I still work
mostly on film, and it is on the decline. So I can’t
say much about the future. Probably AI is taking
over. I am kind of curious about what happens,
but I feel lucky to live in a time of in-between the
old and new world of photography. What I know
for sure is that pictures will never die.
