My only agenda is to bring attention to otherwise ignored and shunned lives.
Before I even took pictures I knew that I wanted to have them as hard copy memories.
There are many images which I miss on purpose. I've done too many of them before and photographing them again doesn't change the world, or me.
I have the great privilege of being both witness and storyteller. Intimacy, trust and intuition guide my work.
It's always good to find things that you haven't found before.
The photograph is kind of a proof - a proof that I actually met these people, that they actually have lives, and that they're worth considering.
