Max Lancaster reflects on his connection to Patmos, stating, "Patmos is a small island in the Aegean Sea that is quite difficult to reach from Athens. For this reason, it remains largely unspoiled... So, as a whole, Patmos holds a lot of sentimental value for me." Here, he emphasizes how the island's isolation contributes to its untouched beauty and personal significance, linking it to his family's history and memories.
When discussing his approach to photography on the island, Lancaster said, "I realized that I had been there so many times but had never really taken any meaningful photos... I spent my time riding around in the early evenings, exploring roads I hadn't been down before and stopping whenever I came across interesting people on the streets." This spontaneity allowed him to capture authentic moments and relationships.
Lancaster described his interactions with local subjects, saying, "Before photographing the boys on the football pitch, I asked for permission from their coach... The first thing she said was, 'Aren't you the boy who crashed his bike?' I asked how she knew, and she told me word had spread around the island." This quote illustrates how his humorous mishap became a talking point and helped build rapport with the locals.
