What pieces or projects have you been working on lately?<\/strong>
Lately I\u2019ve been working on refining my portfolio, taking more photos that genuinely interest me. I enjoy shooting portraits in everyday environments, trying to convey the emotions the subject might feel, and I\u2019m working on building this into a series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

What did you learn (or unlearn) while working on them?<\/strong>
I\u2019ve always been a big fan of using natural lighting, but especially now that I\u2019m investing more in photography, I\u2019m continuously trying to learn how to use what I have to my advantage and discover new techniques using the gear that I have (and unlearn the idea that technology is a competition).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

What words, ideas or emotions were going through your head?<\/strong>
Be unashamed, disrupt, reach out. Self-doubt always persists as I\u2019m still learning and building a portfolio, but I keep reminding myself to just keep working and let a personal style emerge over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Were there any conversations, movies, music, or books that made their way into that work?<\/strong>
As a film lover and maker, I like to think I subliminally reflect this in my work. Movies like Dazed and Confused<\/a><\/strong><\/em> have always spoken to me, as well as the link between sound and image. Music can really set my mood and help me find my intentions for a shoot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

What's been the most difficult thing you've faced recently in your creative process?<\/strong>
The most difficult thing has been balancing work and creativity. After recently graduating from university, I\u2019m having to relearn how to manage my own week\u2014balancing a non-creative job while still finding time to plan and execute my creative ideas with other people who are similarly busy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

What is your favorite restaurant and what do you recommend we order?<\/strong>
My favourite restaurant was Red Lotus, a local Vietnamese restaurant. They closed late last year (devastating) and merged with the caf\u00e9 next door, Caf\u00e9 O-Mai<\/a><\/strong> , and my go-to is the lemongrass chicken vermicelli noodle salad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

If your life were a movie this month, what would it be called and who would write the soundtrack?<\/strong>
If this month were a movie, it\u2019d be called Ready\u2026 Set\u2026 GO!<\/em> , and the soundtrack would include bands like Wednesday<\/a><\/strong>, Horse Jumper of Love<\/a><\/strong>, Dove Ellis<\/a><\/strong>, and heaps of local noisy music that I probably shouldn\u2019t start naming or I won\u2019t stop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Recommend one or more artists you follow who inspire you, and tell us what you like most about their work or their way of working.<\/strong><\/strong>
Rita Busa<\/a><\/strong>, Sierra Breeze Petrocelli<\/a><\/strong>, Tanguy Delavet<\/a><\/strong>, Petra Collins<\/a><\/strong>, Taylor Pendleton<\/a><\/strong>, Mel Mercer<\/a><\/strong>. I like the way quite a few of them foreground women as models, but not in an expository way\u2014more so entering into their real worlds and creating deeply emotive images through light and space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
