My idea was to introduce something new into my wedding work — something a little more experimental.
Lately, I’ve increasingly felt that the wedding industry is starting to look the same. Aesthetics repeat themselves, references move from one profile to another, and when everyone begins offering a similar product, one of the few real differences left for a client is price. Or someone who is completely different, even if they may not seem like the obvious choice at first.
That’s why I wanted to bring something a little more imperfect and personal into my work.
It has always been important to me to leave a part of myself in everything I create. And, as I’ve said many times before, I try to connect previous life experiences, jobs, places, and different phases of my life with what I do today. I don’t think any of it ever really disappears. Everything you once were, and everything you are now, can at some point come together and become something new.
That’s exactly how these photographs came to be.
I spent years working in an office environment, and recently I started scanning my own photographs and creating new images by physically moving the paper during the scanning process. The image goes through another transformation, losing some of its perfection while gaining a new texture, a new surface, and a strange sense of time — as if something is quietly suspended somewhere between the past and the present.
Maybe for some people this is too much for the wedding world. To me, it feels like the opposite — personal, nostalgic, and imperfect enough to make me curious about photography again.
I’m not necessarily trying to invent something that has never existed before, nor do I want an entire gallery to look like this. But leaving traces of experimentation within the work breaks the monotony. I’ve always been interested in taking something from my own past and finding a new place for it in the present.
Transformation isn’t always about leaving behind who we used to be. Sometimes it’s about finding new ways for all those previous versions of ourselves to keep living through what we create today.
