Six years ago I first realized how it feels to have a camera in my hands. I studied the shooting location of movies in Sydney and Melbourne. The more photographs I made, the more I thought about photography as art. Hardly anything ever makes me as happy as the camera does.

I mostly work with the musicians now: Courtney Barnett, Oh Mercy, The Drones, Olympia, Jen Cloher, Fraser Gorman, Simone Felice. For me it is the opportunity to meet eclectic and creative people. I am always interested in what feeling they want to have after the shoot. Sometimes the performers already have their vision of the photograph, but more often I offer them a concept. In my opinion, a photograph is a success if the vision comes to life.

Having my own projects brings me the feeling of endless freedom. I take a lot from the weather and from the nature. Nobody likes windy weather, but it helps me come up with new ideas. I love the wind. This feeling for me is like the accumulation of thunderclouds, the birth of a new and uncontrolled chaos. «Deep in a Dark Reverie» Series was also inspired by the wind, it conveys the feeling of excitement and my interpretation of dreams and nightmares.

I want to continue my «Christmas Time Australia». series now. I like observing people from provincial areas. I would also like to publish a photo book of my works, live in New York from time to time and have my own photo studio.
