There have to be at least two copies of a photograph, otherwise it’s not a photograph.

In photography, you always have both the medium and the depicted subject at the same time.

I received my training at an art academy, so what I produce is art. That's what is artistic about my photographs.

I'm very old fashioned. I still believe in the image and the pictorial quality of the image. It seems that I'm still busy with a truth in photography.

Photographs are still always depictions, it's just that for my generation the model for the photograph is probably not reality any more, but images we have of that reality.

If things are the way they are, why should I try to make them look different?

I believe that photography can only reproduce the surface of things. The same applies to a portrait. I take photographs of people the same way I would take photographs of a plaster bust.
