Personal design context
Since a young age I was always considered with detail and how elements work together to create a certain look, but when I got my first camera & started my photography/design studies in 2011 I was sold.
For me, photography or visual communication is about creativity, expression, composition, technique, software handling, balance, red line, character and telling a story without using words. It's about looking for the beauty in things, seeing through people & finding opportunities. I want my work to express moods & feelings, dreams & spirits. I see myself as a storyteller. Clients hire me to write their biographies, but instead of words I use images, shapes, colors and styles with of course a bit of a personal touch.
''A camera didn't make a great photo any more then a typewriter wrote a great novel and when someone asks me what sort of equipment I use, I prefer to tell them: My eyes.''
