What inspired you to start publishing books?

I love photobooks and it's where I learn and think about photography, so it was a natural process to publish and join the photobook community.

What draws you to the photobook as a format?

A tactile physical object that allows you to enter another person's point of view while sitting in a quiet place of your choice.

How has your practice changed over time?

It began naively and intuitively, but the more you study and get into the deep end of photography, the more you start thinking and questioning. It's a constant challenge now to stay naive and intuitive.

What's a book you've been involved with that surprised you — either in how it came together or how it landed?

The design process with the MACK team on 'Koechlin House' came together quicker than I thought. Working with people who share a common goal is key to a successful collaboration.
