What gives you inspiration?

Just about anything I would have to say - movies, books, words, light, rooms, patterns, emotions and states of mind.

What are your influences?

When I first started with photography I felt really influenced by Anton Corbijn since he has always been one of my favorite photographers, and I still do sometimes. Now I mostly feel influenced by young unknown photographers (too many to mention, everyone should have a look at my contact list on Flickr!).

Why did you choose these photos?

I think they represent what I do, and they are some of my favorites at the moment.

What does photography mean to you?

It’s a way of life, and for me it’s especially about creating memories.
