“The inspiration for the pairings came from a Walker Evans book, First and Last, in which all the images he made had something in common. It allowed me absolute freedom to mix subjects. I wanted to have my first book represent what I do. I think it’s hard to come up with a point of view when making a book and the pairings solved many things for me.”
