Where do you go when you want to be with you?
Out into nature. I like going on hikes in the hills. Books also help me achieve this state of mind.

Tell us something about your education…
I actually came to photography in a roundabout way. I studied to become a lawyer and those were 5 pretty difficult years. Luckily, I got the chance to study photography after I quit my law job. Learning photography came more naturally and I was a lot happier doing that.
