Q: What five words would you use to describe your art?
A: Portraits, control, vulnerability, symbolism,
creative-lighting
Q: What do you create as an artist?
A: I create photographs that encourage people to be
introspective.
Q: How has your practice changed over time?
A: At first I wanted to avoid taking photos of people
altogether, which I find funny because now I want to use as many portraits as
possible. I think I was nervous about people not liking the way they looked in
my images. Which is also probably why I played with self portraits so much in
the beginning!
Q: Do you have any other jobs in addition to being an
artist? If yes, how does that affect your artistic practice?
A: Yes, I also work as a photographer for a corporation.
There aren't as many artistic opportunities on the corporate side, but it has
helped me become very attentive to details in my art practice.
Q: What role do you think an artist has in society?
A: I think art has an amazing power to bring issues and
causes into focus for society. If you get an artist passionate about something,
there is a really good chance people will hear the message!
Q: How can you be contacted?
A: The best way to contact me is by email (knzphotos@gmail.com) or from my website knzphoto.com
