- What was your first camera?
I do remember having a little Canon ixus aps advantix thing at some point in the 1990’s that I used to take a few holiday snaps that I generally never got developed and if I did I never looked at and stuck in a cupboard and have now lost I think moving countries several times. I then bought a secondhand reflex camera from a flea market in Paris in the late 1990’s and shot one roll of film without knowing how a reflex worked before putting the camera in a cupboard and again losing it.
The first time I really got a camera was in 2005 when I got a dreadful Canon 350d digireflexcam and the “free” lens it came with to shoot my own actor’s book rather than having to pay out fortunes each year for the usual rubbishy headshots. Soon after I broke it from over-use and bought a Canon 5d digital with 85mm L f1.2 to shoot portraits without having the background in focus, something that seemed amazing at the time.

I am currently in Ube, Japan, which is rural, industrial, and on the southern tip of the main island. I am headed back home to the United States in three weeks. I am not a professional photographer, but pinning it as a hobby seems somehow incorrect. Listening to records is certainly a hobby though.

I am 25, I have a degree in philosophy.
I have always been creating, either drawings or music, arranging objects, concepts, photography came natural. I have always ‘been into it’. I inherited my fathers 35 mm Nikon, which I have since destroyed.

How did you get into photography?
As a kid, I always thought that being able to freeze time would have been the coolest thing ever. While playing around with my dad’s old Olympus digital camera, I figured out I could do just that. As a Sophomore in high school, I became attracted to the idea of using people as my subjects and being able to capture pure emotion. Finally, I decided to invest in a DSLR.

The Puppet Show by Winkler+Noah
In: art
18 May 2009Enjoy The Puppet Show, the new artistic project by the photographers Winkler+Noah.
30 portraits of children from two to eight years old, taken very naturally and transformed into dolls by a subtle play of retouching. The photo-symbol of the show, has already received two of the most important awards on the international photographic scene: American Photography of New York and publication in the volume “200 Best Photographers Worldwide” by Luerzers Archive.
An exhibit which becomes a starting point for reflection, sociological research and introspection, to better understand ourselves and the world around us. And to understand that the best present we can give to children is to let them be children.

Where do you find inspiration?
Nature…its the biggest source of my inspiration.Flowers & their beauty always left me in awe.Cool breeze swaying & whistling musical notes in your ears,birds chirping as if singing praise songs to Nature,ringing bells of flowing water. Aaahhh, how could anyone resist it all?
