Tell us a bit about yourself... Who are you and where are you from?
How would you describe your style of work?
As far as anyone can remember, I ha ve always been the girl that created. From drawing to painting, writing to playing music, to taking photographs in my late teens. From the far west of Sydney, surrounded by nostalgia and endless explorations.
How do I describe it? My style is mine, unique, and I am yet to pass anyone with work similar. The way I create is from the bottom of my heart, with passion. Raw.
Do you remember when you first fell in love with photography?
Cara Delvinge.
After receiving my first camera under the Christmas tree in 2011, I didn’t truly fall in love with it until mid 2013, when I realised that this was what I wanted to do for the rest of my life as a career as an artist. What do you enjoy the most about photography? I love the story telling aspect, how each segmented frame can pose such raw emotion through controlling light and the subject. Who or what inspires you and your work? Music, and nature. I love the tingles of inspiration I feel when I hear the different notes and b eats along the score, and the touch of the elements.
If you could photograph anyone, who would it be and why?
If you weren't doing photography what would you be doing? Finishing high school I truly had not a clue. All I wanted was to not work in fast food, retail, at desk, or underneath anyone. I just wanted to be an artist, in any medium. I could be a musician if I further pursued? Where do you see yourself and your photography in five years? I see myself being fully supported by my art, living and breathing it everyday (which I currently do now regardless). What advice could you give someone looking to get into photography? Your work is you. Don’t aspire for your work to look like someone else's. ●

Who are you and where are you from? I am Chris Sallquist, a Seattle -based mobile photographer and story producer. I shoot photos of magazine pages torn and mashed together in previously unima gined compositions. Who and/or what inspires you and your work? Alexander Calder's circus. If you haven't seen it, stop reading this and watch it on Youtube (www.youtu.be/21q22BmffZs). The full version. Magic. When did you first start creating mixed media and collage art? I discovered mobile collage photography - what I call "Arts Mashing" - by accident in 2011. I was messing around taking photos of magazine pages to see what kind of compositions would emerge. I tore out a page, folded it, overlaid it on a different photo and took a picture with my phone. The result was intriguing. I got hooked.
people caught in intimate moments of vulnerability, shame, lust, anger and peace. What is the creative process for your work? What are some of the materials, tools and techniques you use? I start with a magazine, and flip through it until I find a photo of a person or a face that catches my attention. I rip out the page and look for another image to combine or mash it with. Sometimes the combination comes right away and sometimes it can take hours or days. I hold the final composition in my left hand and shoot the photo on my iPhone with my right. Then I edit it with Snapseed (www.goo.gl/AuQ7Ny). For every finished photo I publish, I shoot and delete at least 30 to 40. My house is plagued with piles of fashion and design magazines in varying states of decay. What's next? Is there something you're currently working on?
Everyone starts out being creative. I couldn't shake mine.
I'll continue to show my work in exhibitions, and sell my prints online. I'm also commissioning custom portraits using my Arts Mashing technique. My clients send me a photo and I mash it with magazine images. The result is totally unexpected and original art.
If you had to describe your work, what you say?
What advice could you give someone looking to start a creative career?
My images can be odd, disturbing, subtle and provocative. They depict
Make things and be original. â—?
Have you always been creative or was it something that developed at a later age?

HANKER MAGAZINE | 39
Tell us a bit about yourself… Who are you and where are you from? My name is Yigal Ozeri. I’m an artist based in New York City. I was born and raised in Israel and I’ve been living and working in New York for 23 years. I have a wife and 2 children. I’m very much a New Yorker, I don’t ever see myself living anywhere else. How would you describe your work? My work is romantic. Like a celebration of the untouchable. I use fantasy to connect with reality. I take reality as it is. In my paintings you feel the moment, the smell, the b reath. I’m not afraid of the word romanticism. This is what I bring back to painting, and what I bring back to the art world. The art world is so full of violence, of death, of disgusting s tuff, and I bring romanticism, the back to things. There is definitely a connection to “Pre -Raphaelite”. I paint women in nature. Of course I look at the works of John Everett Millais, “Ophelia in the Nature” from the 1850’s. I was fascinated with the works and with the group of artists Millais, Rossetti, they worked like a communion. They work together in England with complete freedom without all the fee ling of academic work that was before them. They took the model to the nature and just painted.
Who Inspires you? Lucian Freud, Franz Gertsch, and Andrew Wyeth. Some people may not know that these works are actually paintings without reading this, is this something that you want your works to do? I consider my work to be the border between photography and painting. I paint photorealism in a digital age. If you can compare my work to the earlier photorealism, it is different. In earlier photorealism they used 35 mil slides. The amount of details from the camera was very limited. Today every person holds a digital camera and becomes a photographer. I'm able to transfer from a digital camera a scene that looks 3D. Painting women in nature is very romantic and doesn’t necessarily connect to a frozen moment like most photorealistic work. My paintings are a one man show in this genre. Most of the photorealists paint buildings, landscapes, still life. I'm among few artists (early Chuck Close, Marilyn Minter, and some others) who paint reality. I'm dealing with perception. My perception is completely different. I'm dealing with the moment that confuses the photo/video and painting.

How long ha s it taken you to perfect your skills to the point of photorealism? I started out as a semi figurative painter. I did a project called Unbuilt America in 1988-1999. Very monochromatic pieces. My work started evolving In a gradual way when I immigrated from Israel to NY. the turning point was in Long Island City, where my old studio was (in one of the iconic 5 points buildings). I did a series on the pigeons that were outside of my studio window. This series was painted from real life and from photographs. Then I started painting the windows that the pigeons were nesting on. From the “ Window ” series I started to regularly use a camera, and my work has shifted from art history and reference to scenes from reality. What advice could you give someone looking to begin a creative career? Be unique. No matter what type of art you create stand out from the crowd. Is there something you are currently working on that you'd like to share with us? I’m currently working on a series for my Show in Madrid in November with Galeria Alvaro Alcazar. It is a dreamy series focusing on movement. I’m excited to show case it! ●

Who are you and where are you from? My name is Martina Keenan, I was born and grew up in Córdoba, Argentina, but when I was 13 years old I moved to Buenos Aires, Argentina´s capital. Who or what inspires you and your work?
things I really like. I would love to have a magazine, but nowadays in Argentina it ’s almost impossible. But I know someday I will have it. What is your favourite piece of equipment or something you can't live without? Camera rolls.
I get my inspiration especially from day to day, everyday life. Since I take pictures, every little thing calls my attention. Now, for example I like to travel by bus. I feel more sensitive than ever. I´m always thinking about where I can take a good picture, or planning trips only to take photos. How would you describe your style of work? A harmonic mixture between Mistakes, spontaneity, mystery and anonymity. I specially prefer the anonymity of the models. I think the protagonist of the picture should be the whole image itself and not only an object inside of it. I love the mystery, the sense of the unfinished, the unconventional frames. If you weren't doing photography what would you be doing? Currently I also work at a creative Agency called BAAUHS so practically I do both
From personal experience, what's some good advice for someone looking to get into photography? Im a super young photographer, I’m only 24 years old. The only thing I can say to other young photographers is that everything that comes to your mind, even though it seems difficult, just try to materialize it. The result will always be positive. ●

First off, who are you and what is 'Boat People Vintage’? I’m Ariane, a french Canadian entrepreneur, and co - owner of Boat People Vintage, an online fashion destination for indy girls. We sell vintage clothing, accessories and home decor goods, and we run a very popular DIY blog too. When and how did 'Boat People Vintage' begin? The idea ca me when I was really young, probably around 20 years old, I wanted to own a thrift shop in my hometown where I’d sell second hand clothing and hand made beanies and scarfs, because I loved to crochet at the time. But somehow I wasn’t ready to make the move, and I felt I needed to build up my work experience before starting a business. It ’s 6 years later that my best friend and I had a chat about our future and we realized we shared the same dream, so we started working on the project immediately. I quit my da y job and started writing a business plan, and that ’s when everything fell into place. We figured out an online store would be more interesting for us, and 6 months later, we launched Boat People Vintage. Who are involved in 'Boat People Vintage’? We are currently 3, the two founders Mel and I, and our friend Esthera helps us buying vintage clothing and is contributing to the blog as well. So far, friendship has been the center of our business alliances and it works out great. Without giving out too many secrets, where do you find your vintage clothing? Ahah, of co urse we won’t reveal precisely
but lets say that we dig anywhere old clothes can be found, from thriftshops, estate sales, local community stores, to church basements and personal collections. What do you think is a 'must have' vintage item? A must have vintage item is a piece that strongly speaks to you personally, by it ’s aesthetics and history. It ’s a piece in which you feel comfortable and truly expresses who you are, and that will not go out of style. Usually a must have vintage gem will follow you for a long time… it ’s the opposite of fast fashion What do you think is key to maintaining a successful online clothing store with so much competition? For us, the key has been to stay coherent in the range of styles we offer, and to be authentic and honest about who we are. We are not into retro or «granny» style vintage, but much more into actual, avantgarde style that is what modern people want to wear. You know how fashion is a full circle and styles always come back, well we try to offer the authentic, original version of what people can find in store these days. So, people know what to expect from us when they visit our store, and we always try to bring them with us in our exploration of the past, present and future clothing trends. What advice could you give someone looking to start their own online clothing store? I’d say, do it for the passion, not the money (sorry), be unique, and be meticulous and authentic in everything you do. Because that is what people will feel when they visit your store. ●

Tell us a bit about yourself... Who are you and where are you from?
If you could photograph anyone, who would it be and why?
My name is Brenda Waworga, I am an aspiring portrait and fashion photographer from a small city in Indonesia called Manado. I do photography only on weekends cause I work at a local bank on weekdays.
Olsen twins, they have always been my favourites since I was a child, for their uniqueness and because they're such role models in the fashion industry (and myself) for their bohemian/free spirit style.
Do you remember when you first fell in love with photography? Yes, it was back in to 2009 when I bought my first DSLR camera, Canon 1000D, for traveling purposes, I learnt how to use it and have never stopped learning and shooting since then.
If you weren't doing photography what would you be doing? Being a full time banker, a serious and boring person. Where do you see yourself and your photography in five years?
What do you enjoy the most about photography?
I hope in 5 years time I can expand my skills and work with more potential clients and meet amazing new people.
The ability to express myself and let people to see it through my pictures.
What advice could you give someone looking to get into photography?
Who or what inspires you and your work?
Go for it! Never stop learning and don't compare yourself to others. Photography is about being yourself and doing what you love. â—?
I get inspiration from so many things ... From people, music, movies, books and nature. How would you describe your style of work? Feminine, whimsical and fashionable.

Who are you and where are you from? I am Jessica Bee and I am from Boston, Massachusetts. I moved to Australia almost seven years ago and I now live in Sydney. Who and/or what inspires you and your work? I find people who are motivated by sheer passion to achieve their goals incredibly inspiring. Talking with someone who is pursuing their dream to their utmost ability, no excuses, only positivity, leaves me feeling so inspired to continue chasing my own dreams. I find that the more I surround myself with these kinds of people the more I push myself to be better and not to give up. Have you always been creative or was it something that developed later on? I have definitely always been creative. I have distinct memories of my art classes going all the way back to primary school, gluing macaroni to a paper plate, those were the days. If you had to describe your style of work what would you say? Extremely experimental, very surreal, a bit psychedelic and a tad ethereal. What are some of the materials and techniques you use to create these images? I use 35mm film, expired preferably,
with plastic cameras or one of my vintage SLR’s, a Pentax Spotmatic and a Pentax MX , which is my newest baby. My go -to Lomography cameras are my Holga 135 or Lomo L- CA+. I generally manipulate my film before I shoot it by soaking it in any number of film soups, like hot water and lemon juice, coffee, bleach or tobacco sauce. I love to use cameras that give me the ability to take multiple exposures, which means I am able to expose the same frame more than once before advancing the film. I have also started to use my film scanner to create a double exposure effect by scanning two negatives on top of one another. At this point I don’t use any other technology besides my scanner to alter my images, that means no Photoshop. I really love the uncertainty of my work and the happy accidents that come with experimenting. Is there anything you're currently working on that we should know about? At the moment I am working on a series using film that has been soaked in urine. I was inspired by a photographer based in America, Brigette Bloom, who posted about this method on her Facebook page. It is still in the early stages, but I have done one roll with my own urine and have been excited by the results! In the series I plan to use urine from several different people to manipulate a roll of film each and then I will use that roll to photograph that person in their element. Once this is all said and done I would love to be able to exhibit it in Sydney. ●

First off, who are you and where are you from? I am Josh McKenna, I currently live in East London but hail from the Cornish coast. How would you describe your style of work to someone? Minimal in design, bold with seductive curves, squiggles and carefully selected vibrant trop ical colours taken from past decades. My work features strong compositions and often sassy robust ladies up to no good. Who and/or what inspires you and your work? I take inspiration from the 1980s particularly the amazing Memphis art movement, I love the patterns and colour schemes and try to feed them into my own work. As for other artists and illustrators, I have a pretty large list that I like to keep updated. Some examples would be Jack Hudson, Alec Doherty, Yoko Honda, Olimpia Zagnoli, Sara Andreasson, Toni Halonen, Clay Hickson, Annu Kilpeläinen and Milton Glaser to name just a few. Have you always been creative or was it something that developed at a later age?
I’ve always been arty, always with a pencil and paper when I grew up. I was really into drawing cars, so much so that I studied briefly on an Automotive Design course but left when I realised it wasn’t creative enough for me. It was after that I began illustrating and soon realised this is what I want to do as a career. What is the creative process for your work? What tools, materials and techniques do you use? Most of my process time is done drawing ideas in my sketchbook, I’ll try loads of different compositions and ideas until I think I’ve found the strongest. I then scan it and work on the image in Illustrator, adding shadows, texture and a bit of gloss to give the image a lot more depth. Do you have any advice you could give someone looking to begin a creative career? Social media is crucial for a creative. Start early and build a good reputation on the internet and constantly upload work, that way more people are likely to see it - which can only lead to good things. Make contacts within the industry, whether it ’s other illustrators, art directo rs, editors, assistants - going to lots of creative events is the best place to do this. ●
