What gives you inspiration?
Always People. The stranger the better too. I love people watching. It is my favourite hobby. And of course looking at other photographers work.
What are your influences?
I studied Anthropology and Social Work at University when I was younger.
Although I decided not to pursue these paths, when I photograph I am interested in Social Justice and Cultural differences. They are just interests of mine and that shows in photos.
Why did you choose these photo’s?
I chose these photos because they are my favourites. Other people seem to like these ones too, I just think they have the most immediate visual impact out of the photos that I have taken.
What does photography mean to you?
Photography is a way to express how you see the world. It is an art.
