People do things for the camera that knock me out, these strong, intense, revelatory things.... It’s like a little stage offered to you... But it doesn’t make it fake, it’s just a different process.

When I started taking pictures, I was worried about staged work. I was trying to make everything like a snapshot, very spontaneous, because I wanted it to be true, to be honest. I then realized I’m never spontaneous because I’m photographing myself, so I’m always posing, always aware, always staged.

Photography is my way to feel more, to connect to the people around me. It started with the people very close to me and has been expanding ever since.
