What gives you inspiration?

The lack of understanding of our relationship with enviroment and lanscape.

What are your influences?

I dont have any particular influence. If the question is about photographers, obviously I’ve been influenced by the New Topographics pioneers and many other contemporary photographers, but I have really learnt a lot from amazing photographers at the Flickr community. Together with photography I’ve been interested in architecture, urban planning, landscape design, etc.

Why did you choose these photos? 

I think they are quite visual, eyecatching. When I took them I had that special feeling they were going to be nice photographs.

What does photography mean to you?

Photography for me does not really have a meaning itself. For me its not an end, but a medium. Its a powerful tool for a deeper understanding of our enviroment and habits.
