My work starts with something I see. A certain light, a colour, a shadow or a composition can suddenly stop me in my tracks. I photograph it instinctively because I want to hold on to what i saw and felt in that moment.

Sometimes a photograph is enough. Sometimes I feel there is more hidden in the image. That is when I turn to the slow, tactile Toyobo process to explore whether the atmosphere, beauty and emotional depth can be taken even further.
