T
ell us something not a lot of people know about you. I am 23, I love music and dancing, I am a vegetarian, and I have an obsession with the artist Gustav Klimt.
When did you become interested in fashion and photography? I first became interested in fashion at a very young age. A friend and I used to design dresses and make little creations for our dolls! I guess a proper interest started upon studying textiles at high school and continued from there. What was the major turning point in your life that made you decide to pursue a career as a fashion photographer? I was always planning on studying fashion design, but then I found in my A level years that I didn’t enjoy the sewing and construction part as much as I should—so I turned my interest to other parts of the fashion industry. I had always loved fashion photography but had never really considered pursuing it until that point. Did you study photography? I studied an evening course in black and white photography first, which involved learning how to work in the dark room and develop our own films. I loved this course so much that I decided to continue my studies to university and studied a professional photography course in Bristol. Why is photography important to you? I have always been someone who works in a visual way, so art and photography have always been a very important part of my life. I am very interested in art and love having beautiful images around me, and being interested in fashion, the photography is the part that really captures me. When you take pictures, do you have a story that you are trying to tell? Sometimes I work in this way and try to follow a story, but sometimes the images are very spontaneous. It depends on the purpose of the photographs I am taking! I do try and always capture some kind of feeling or mood in my images.
