I love taking photos when people don’t see me doing so. Cause when you ask somebody for a photo, immediately something is happening on her/his head and the authenticuty is fading. He or she will start acting weirdly, as if afraid of what’s coming next.
Most of the time, you hear “oh no I hate photos” or “I am not photogenic”, even worse “I am horrible” which are sad excuses! A photo is not about looking good but about taking the inside outside, it’s a question of essence, of who a person is and how to translate it in image.
So I love playing with my camera, I love trying things, watching through the lens and see how I can catch what I feel is right, what I feel the person should see about her/him.
Sometimes it’s working, sometimes not. But at least I am having fun and the person can stop pretending to be someone he or she is not!
