Q: You moved from London to Berlin, bringing decades of music photography experience with you. In 2015, you opened Bildband. How has it evolved over these eleven years? Has it become the space you originally envisioned?
A: Actually it has become a lot more than I imagined, as well as a book shop we have a darkroom, an exhibition space, and a zine programme - it also led to me publishing my own book “Everything, All At Once Forever” last year, and I'm working on a new one.


Q: Which underrated photobooks about Berlin do you find yourself recommending repeatedly?
A: My current favourite Berlin photobooks are:
- Berlin Wonderland
- Arwed Messmer - Berlin, Fruchtstraße am 27. März 1952
- Martin Eberle - galerie berlintokyo
- Hans W. Mende - Grenzarchiv West-Berlin 1978/1979



Q: When you want to unwind, are there particular places you go for art, food, movement, or learning something new? Could you recommend some favourites?
A: My favourite place to unwind is the Leise-Park in Heinrich Roller Str. and the fleamarkets in in Havelpark Dallgow, and one in Biesdorf is in the parking lot of the Biesdorf Center, U Bahn Elsterwerdaer Platz, on the outskirts of Berlin.
