The Hunger

I'm not quite at full flow yet, but I like this work. It's some of the happiest I've been with for a long time. Remembering my roots, not overcomplicating the frame, following my instincts, never holding back, embracing mistakes, enjoying the moment, and always looking forward. Anders (Petersen) puts my feelings towards photography so well:

“Really, I want every image to be a self-portrait. If I take a picture of that apple on the table, it can be a self-portrait” How? “By using whatever is necessary to be true to myself: the light, the darkness, the hunger I have and the innocence. By not thinking. By being as primitive as possible, as raw as possible, as horrible as possible. Using my nerve and my heart and my gut. Then, only after shooting, I will use my brain to select and edit. This is the beautiful and fantastic thing about photography.”
