I’m fascinated by the ability of photography to take you to a different time, a different place, a different world. In my work I focus on everyday life, and how people cope with daily reality. Often times I will focus on the small ways people escape the here and now, regain a sense of control in a world constantly changing and evolving.
The feeling of longing to be somewhere or sometime else, is a recurrent theme in my work.
By using certain visual references I steer the interpretation of the viewer to certain time periods or types of media. Documentary work is coloured by the photographer, and this is something that I see as a valuable aspect.

Teaching
Working with students, professional and amateur photographers gives me a great sense of fulfilment.
My background as both a therapist and photographer helps me analyse both creator and creation. I enjoy digging deeper within someones work and finding out what could be in the hidden depths below.
