Interview, Paper Journal

Paper Journal: Your crews are famously small. Is that a budget decision or a creative one?

Both, at first. Now it is only creative. With four people on set everyone can see the monitor, everyone has an opinion, and nobody is waiting for permission to move a reflector.

Paper Journal: You talk a lot about walking. What does it give you that a recce photo does not?

Time. A photo is one moment you have already chosen. A walk is an hour of moments you have not chosen yet, and that is where the surprises are.

Paper Journal: What do you want people to feel in front of your pictures?

That they have been there. Not that they have seen something beautiful, but that they remember the temperature.
