5 questions with Tim Johannis

1. Two truths and a lie about you, please

First truth is that I was just thinking I could tell any lie here.
Second truth is that I will not lie here.
A lie is that I give these stupid answers because I don’t like this question.

2. I like the way your website is set up, especially presentation of photographs. How important, in your opinion, is presentation to already a solid body of work?

I think it’s very important. Presentation can really add something to a picture or just take it down. It’s something to think about. Especially when working with prints because here you really can make the difference. On the net it’s different. I choose to have a website that really appeals to myself. I see some people like it and others don’t get it. But it shows I’m not only interested in making nice pictures and that I don’t think things should always be fast and easy. So in a way it’s a reflection of who I am as well. And happily you can never take a million different opinions in account so it’s the best to stay close to who you are.

3. I find your stills to be very interesting and mysterious at the same time. Could you shed a little light on your creative process?

If I would be aware of all the things that have influence on my creative process, my brain would be toasted. Inspiration comes from anywhere. From my experience I can say that inspiration mostly comes from things that really fascinates me. This can be philosophy or just a shape or material. It’s important to recognise these things so you can use them. I think a lot before I start to photograph, but when I work I stay open for everything. This sometimes results in something completely different. Sometimes it’s really easy. Like a few years ago I was in the desert taking a picture at night. During my exposure a dog walked in and sat down. I took my flash and added the dog to the picture. I loved this picture a lot and thought it was a good idea to take pictures of animals in the desert. Later in a bookshop I found a book about the pyramids and there was a picture in it of a group of stray-dogs in front of the pyramids. I liked the picture so much that I bought the book. A few years later I have this fascination with pyramids and triangles!

4. Song to listen when you are sad

Arabic music has beautiful sense of melancholy. Some of the classical music is really layered and just sucks you up. I am talking about oud players like Munir Bashir or Hamza El-Din.

5. Who should we interview next?

Maybe some rocket-scientist from Nasa.
