I love taking photographs. Have been doing it for most of my life. It has become my therapy. Curse and blessing connected in an eternal symbiotic embrace. I like being on the road. Was born a nomad. It’s the light I am after. Without light there are no shadows.
Without darkness who can tell you what light is? The nomad in me spurs me on. Tells me to keep looking, prays that whatever it is always remains just around the corner. Seemingly within grasp yet so utterly elusive.
ABOUT HANS
As I take to the road, life gradually reveals itself. Life too, needs darkness, for it is what allows the light to shine through. My photographs are about life and light. About tirelessly turning corners. About encounters that transform us if we dare let it happen. About despair and hope. About this great, sad and beautiful world we live in. About you and me. About us.
