And I can relax and think of what I need to produce, I often tell people before I disappear in my creative bubble during the shoots. Itīs like being in a tunnel where all the energy is focused on what needs to be done. An inner dialogue with myself, "is this nice, are you satisfied with the light, is there anything that bothers the eye"...and so on... Once Iīm fine with everything I come back and we can take the picture and continue with the next shot. If I work with clients I tell them to go and sit down and relax while I talk to myself until I feel I have something to introduce to them. Thereīs no point really for them to say anything until then. We have had meetings before and all of us in the team usually knows what needs to be done.
My personal projects are very important to me. The freedom of getting an idea, establish the idea with for example a stylist and than create the image, without anyone else interfering, is the closet experience I get to total creativity. Then, anything is possible, no restrictions. My ideas canīt really be traced to one thing. Itīs mixed impressions of the world around me. A movie I saw, with an image I saw, the feeling I got when I took a walk somewhere in combination with a discussion with a friend can one day give me an image in my imagination. I usually draw it in my book. Save it or get inpatient and need to do it now!! I call people, magazines. Than there is no time to wait. Some ideas I know will take time. Time to think through once or twice before they can be put into reality.
