Since I was a kid, I’ve been curious about other people’s lives. I would look through my car window or walk down the street and wonder what sort of life did each person has. Where do they live? What does their house look like? What do they do for a living? Do they have a family? Are they loved? Are they happy? I guess that inquisitiveness never left me and somehow it has led me to become who I am and what I do today.
One of the things I love most is photographing homes. And artists’ homes would probably have to be my favorite. The home reveals the soul of its creator, the person that envisioned it and lives in it every day. My second favorite thing is meeting these homeowners, talking to them and over a few hours gaining an insight into their lives, their dreams, motivations and getting to know what inspires them and what makes them tick.
I was meant to come and photograph Irene Hoff and her art, but the moment she opened the gate I knew I had to come back and shoot not just her, but also her incredible house.
