Interview

“Take time to slow down and appreciate these beautiful places without always being driven by the need for a photo every time. The experience and moments themselves can be more valuable than the photos.”

“Let your emotions go. Learn to shoot with a cold head and a warm heart. Emotions should appear only after pressing the button. If you are enjoying the moment, then you have already missed it.”

“Don’t lose yourself in the comparison trap. Celebrate the success of others instead. The universe will have your back if you stay at it.”

“Know your value and know what is a comparable trade if at all. Work with your fellow creatives. The goal is to have the entire team eating good!”

“I always advise artists to work on their art first and foremost. As you find your own perspective and style, you’ll automatically have brands wanting to work with you.”

“Comparing yourself with others just comes with the territory, but managing it is where you will become a winner. It really is a bit of a mind battle, but you truly just have to concentrate on yourself and believe in your work.”

“Be open to trying new things and shooting something you wouldn’t normally, pushing your boundaries. This makes you a better photographer with a better eye, you have to find beauty in the most unusual places and not just to get those “Instagram Photos” all the time!”

“I’ve faced a few hardships over the years. We all do. However I always try to learn something from those situations. Life is about learning for me, it’s inevitable if you have a desire to steer your life in your own direction.”

“This image means a lot to me as this was the beginning of a huge change. It was my first trip with the reindeer herders and the origin of my inspiration triggered by other cultures. It was also the image that made me realize that I wanted to change my visual style and be more minimalistic.”

“Manifest and live a life true to what you believe in, and life might surprise you.”
