"Flamingos, Italy."
Description
"After I graduated from high school, I took off on my own travels. Like many of my friends, I backpacked across Europe. I did not have any fixed plans, but I had a bunch of cameras with me and quickly reconnected to my love for street and documentary photography. It was probably during these wild, experimental years that I found my own artistic approach. Videography came later, and my first real projects only began in recent years. I guess I always had a lot - and probably too much - respect for the moving image. When photographing people, I always follow the credo "Inside, looking out" - a philosophy of becoming immersed in my subjects' lives and environments to document them from an intimate, inside perspective rather than as an outside observer. My "formal education", to call it that way, took a different path. I never saw a photography school from the inside."Try it!
