What inspires you?
Most things inspire me really, I tend to go for how light moves within the day, but it’s also about people I see in the tube, how certain models move, a reflection of myself somewhere, and of course the movies and books I watch and read as well as the images I am constantly bombarded by (unavoidable)

What do you do to unwind from a stressful day?
I just get home and cook whatever I feel like cooking, and if I need to talk it out just invite someone over for dinner. Otherwise I bike, and always always eat chocolate.

How would your utopian future world look like?Â
I have no capacity to think of the future, never had, and I like the idea of never having it, I think it’s quite cool to inhabit the present with a certain unavoidable nostalgia.

Who is your role model / hero? Who do you look up to?
I look up to soooo many people, honestly. In photography I think Wolfgang Tillmans is quite a role-model, because of his capacity to blend the photographic with the social, and artistic in such a natural way, I also admire my teachers who have taught me to pace and edit myself, to rewrite, to think before I act. I’m also inspired by my friends who take approaches to life which I admire so much and find absolutely inaccesible for myself.

What do you see as your biggest challenge?
