What gives you inspiration?
My everyday life. The people. sunlight, shadows and colours around me.
What are your influences?
I love looking at work from other photographers as Helen Levitt, Walker Evans or Joe Toreno. And I also like browsing in Flickr.
Why did you choose these photos?
It’s always hard to dive in the archive and come up with your best. These I like a lot because the people in them are dear to me or the situation was special, as last winter in Holland. I also like that they reflect different moods and are very different from each other.
What does photography mean to you?
It’s some kind of magic every time: you go out and all these photos are there somewhere. I just love to find them.

Bingo. I love the way you put it. That encourages to take a walk and go see where are all the photos hiding.
