“I, who am behind the camera, am a spectator, but at the same time a director. I get to use my imagination and I can create my own theater. I have the opportunity to influence/control the image and by that I don’t mean to arrange. The allure of street photography for me is precisely that GENUINE moment. The snapshot is usually the best when the person you are photographing doesn’t spot you or at the very moment you are spotted.”
Many times these are fleeting meetings, but sometimes Agneta manages to stop and have a more in-depth conversation with the people, which she finds enriching. It’s about old and young, women and men, boys and girls. She can make a good connection with the toughest teenage boys. Agneta also sees it as an important task to create history for posterity, by immortalizing environments, clothes and hairstyles. “People in the future will be as interested in our time as we are in the past”.
In the company of her camera, Agneta is never bored. She means that she is entertained all the time where Lifet passes in revue!
