My working methods
I follow the logic of colours, when I combine places, people and clothes. To me the most important quality of photography is it’s capability to convey emotions. I want to start secret love affairs with places. I want to be attracted!

Plans for the residency
My heart beats to Iceland. The water, the shimmer and the deep green. My new challenge is to see the Nordic countries in a non-traditional light.
