The photographer

Joris Maes beside a tripod in an empty plastered room

I photograph buildings and the rooms inside them, mostly for the studios who drew them: competition boards, monographs, a spread in a magazine twice a year. I work alone, on a tripod, and I would rather come back at four than fake the sun.
