About me.
I am Viktoria, photographer and model.
Something is always tugging at my sleeve, asking me to go a little further than is comfortable. I stopped arguing with it a long time ago. So I go, usually upward, usually before light, usually when the sensible thing would be to stay in bed.
What I am looking for up there is hard to name. A kind of room. Somewhere wide enough and cold enough and quiet enough that I am.
The mountains do that. They take away everything unnecessary until what is left is very small and very awake.
Then I take the photograph, and everything I was feeling goes in with it, still warm.
Isn’t a photograph just a quiet way of cheating time?
I take them so that less is lost. It is my own argument with longing. With the thing that has already left and stayed behind my eyelids anyway. Years later I can open one and it is all still inside, and so am I.
I like reading those old feelings again. They are never quite the same the second time, and that is the best part.
