I photograph people as if I were meeting them for the very first time.

With the eyes of beeing from a distant star, I look at them in wonder:

their quirks, their beauty, their quiet greatness.

I take a step back to see them in their entirety and come close enough for trust to emerge.

​

In that space between distance and closeness,

masks can fall away.

Doubts grow quieter.

All that remains is the human being.
