I've spent a month documenting the lives of a group of four young adults. At first, I thought it was going to be easy: we meet at a certain place at a certain time, take photos and meet up again the next time. Simple and quick.
However, after the first shoot I felt uncomfortable when I looked at the photos I'd taken. I felt like I'd invaded the intimacy of four people I didn't know just for a project.
After that, I decided to change my approach. I wanted to get to know them and document our future friendship.
Throughout the project, I felt privileged to witness those precious moments of their youth. In a way, I felt privileged to be part of those moments.
Future Nostalgia is therefore both a record of their ambitious, hope-filled youth and an album filled with our memories.
