To Alexia: Make it happen
If your life were a movie, what would it be called?
If my life were made into a movie it’d be called Kinda Ok
How would you describe your photography style?
My photography style is fashion portraits. It’s what I love to shoot.
What inspires you?
I think recently my inspiration comes from any deep emotional state. Whether it’s pain or joy, something happens there.
What un-inspires you?
I just shot a girl yesterday that made me want to cancel all my shoots for the rest of the year. She was bossy and I had no say in the creative. Clients like that and people like that make me feel like I’m just a walking tripod with a camera.
Have you been kicked out of a bar?
I think I have been kicked out of a bar in my early twenties but I genuinely can’t recall.
If you had the power to erase one thing?
I would erase debt.
3 things you’d grab if you had 60 seconds to leave your life forever?
Man, wallet keys phone is the easy one. But maybe you mean besides those things? My hard drives. My laptop. My polaroids.
