‘My work sits between realism and fantasy. I often look for inspiration from paintings, movies and games. I started gaming at a very young age, and I think it has impacted my photography more so than any other art form. Through my photography, I hope to impart fragments of fantasy to the viewer and encourage them to take a momentary step out of their reality.’
