ISSP 2019 Publication - Photography and the World

collaboration between the author and his or her
participants or subject-matter in some cases, this is
when I feel that the work does matter, and I want to
see and understand more about what the photographer
wants to say through the work.
In my case, I feel like I’m a facilitator. What I try
to do first is, through research and interviewing,
to understand my specific focus, and then I start to
facilitate the process of the people who are trying to
tell their stories through our collaborative photos.
I consider it their process to be able to represent
themselves, and hopefully I am able to create a
platform without any interference—of course, as an
artist, I always have an interference but at least I try
to be considerate of this situation.

What do you do
when you wake up
and you don't want to
talk to anyone?
Reflections by Vincen Beeckman
I try to create an exchange with
the people I work with – it’s not
only about photography but about
sharing moments together. There
are a lot of ways to interact: speaking,
taking your time, doing things
together like playing chess... Little
by little you see where the relationship
goes, taking as much time as
possible. It’s about trying to find
a good way to collaborate, about
doing and trying different stuff. I’m
experimenting and I’m doing it in
a sort of naive way, trying to make
it about emotions and feelings. I’m
very motivated and willing to do
that. It’s about love for people -
I like to see what they do and
to connect with them.
