I’m a huge believer that each and everyone of us is talented in one way or another, but there’s two different kinds of talents. There’s the kind people that are good at something but also have to work really hard to get their work recognised, which is the kind I count myself and 90% of the world population in. And then, there’s another sort of talent, one which isn’t dictated by time or amount of work - one that naturally finds a way to speak for itself. Yannick Cousinne is one of the rare ones whom I consider to be part of the latter category.
When looking at his trajectory, it becomes clear that his passion for photography goes way back. “I remember always taking my camera everywhere with me as a child. Then, I’d buy disposable cameras on top of that - that’s how scared I was of running out of space”, he tells me and laughs while walking over to the kitchen table with his freshly poured black coffee.
