It isn’t very difficult to avoid dated or old-fashioned themes. I don’t believe there is a “this” moment. The problems that we experience are from all times, a hundred years ago they also had struggles, suffering and financial worries. History repeats itself, it’s a full circle.

While I say that everything repeats itself, I do believe that the way people experience these themes is different in each time period. How they dealt with death in the past is completely different from how we react to it today. Place also plays a role in this difference.

There are recurring themes in the past, present and future which will be experienced differently in each time period. This allows you to express the themes in a different way. Your images can have a timeless quality but also be innovative, of the present and not old-fashioned.
