The people we surround ourselves with either raise or lower our standards. They either help us become the best-version-of-ourselves or encourage us to become lesser versions of ourselves.

In life we mirror our friends and acquaintances. No man becomes great on his own. No woman becomes great on her own. The people around them help to make them great.

We all need people in our lives who raise our standards, remind us of our essential purpose, and challenge us to become the best-version-of-ourselves.

Herewith I´d like to thank the people I have worked and learned with, the couples that have come into my life and enriched it, as well as my dear colleagues and friends from all over the world that have become my photographic family.

Thank you for teaching and inspiring me.
