As a photographer, I have no defined, regular space in which I work. Therefore, having never actually worked in an office, the traditional office environment intrigues me. So whenever possible—while either on assignment or personally perusing a building of interest—I have tried to shoot these types of offices, regardless of their contents. The result has been a spectrum of empty spaces, raw and uncluttered, waiting for work to begin.
—Andreas E.G. Larsson, photographer
