Photography – Nashville

I love shooting Polaroids. The smell of the old leather on my SX70 Land camera, the sounds of the motor, waiting for the image to appear and the magic that it brings. When I got my hands on my first OneStep Flash Polaroid camera in 2011, I emmidiatly fell in love and a new passion was born. I love shooting empty places. When all the people dissapear from my little square view, that\'s when I click. When there is nothing left but for your imagination to wander. When the streets fall silent and time stands still. That\'s when I want to tell a story. In 2013, my photo\'s were published in The Impossible Project\'s “Travelog” and SnapItSeeIt\'s “Weekly Assignments”. Using film from The Impossible Project and Fujifilm, together with soms rare finds of original Polaroid film, I started making art by transfering photo prints onto wood and canvas.
