What¹s the most annoying part of your job, if there is such part?
That you never know If you've got a job until you've taken the first polaroid...
Were you trained in photography or was it just a case of trial and error?
I went to Kulturama in Stockholm, but I wouldn't credit them for my success. It's always up to you.
In case of any school, do you recommend it?
I suppose schools are good for learning the basics and to play around. But assisting photographers will always be the best way to learn the business.
Any handy hints for a rookie photographer?
Don't forget the lens cap!
