For the purpose of an exhibition, they were kept in a specific place. The thieves entered this place and stole many things, including my photographs. I’m sure that they didn’t come into this place to specifically steal my work. They just…

But here, it’s a kind of challenge: you never know how people will react to the final scene of “Last Night”. Spoiler Alert “Last Night”…

I‘m not saying that every person who wants to be an artist should study art. In fact, many great artists are self-taught. Still, I…

Imagining the story, sketching it, directing the models, taking the final photo…it was so exciting! It quickly became my favourite type of photography.

When I say open calls, I mean: - Exhibitions (in festivals, fairs, galleries…). These open calls are more often for group exhibitions than solo ones. - Screenings (mainly in festivals) …
