In the city, most people seemed somehow lost to me, geographically, mentally or even physically. It’s that second before they recognise you, making the picture, somehow giving you an intimate moment with a person you never gonna see again in your life. They open up, as if we’re in a most private place, while in fact being in the least private environment I can imagine.

While working in NYC I shot primarily candid street scenes. I am highly interested in people’s interaction with different environments, as an observer. I try to imagine what they’re going to do next, to anticipate their interpersonal behaviour. When producing these pictures, I was just shooting without an aim in beforehand. I photographed everything that touched my mind, subconsciously. Afterwards while editing I realised that I had a lot of pictures of people seeming lost somehow, so maybe I found a way to transport my inner self into my photography without thinking about it too much. If I would prolong the series with that method today, maybe I would get a different product, since my state of mind is different now.
