Q: What inspires you to take a photograph? What are you trying to capture?
A: I like to pretend I live in a fantasy. In a photograph you can cut away everything that makes a moment part of reality and in the end it appears that you live in a more beautiful or interesting place. So I guess what I try to capture in a photograph is something that is more beautiful than my real life so I can create a pretend life where I live on a mountain top and speak to the trees. I also just like taking photos of my friends and our adventures.

Q: You tend to incorporate a lot of landscapes into your photographs. Why is this?
A: It's easier to romanticise the world in the wilderness.
