Intervju

—Hvordan ble du en del av fotografbransjen?

-
—Hva er de viktigste komponentene i et bra bilde etter din mening?
—Every image needs a basic structure. Without an underlying structure, it is just another boring photo.Every image needs strong underlying com-positional order so that it grabs the eye from a hundred feet away.If it can't grab the eye from a distance, it will never be an interesting photo, regardless of how many fine details it might have. Details don't matter if there's no story behind it.
