after failing at other creative outlets such as art or music.
Finding out that I cannot sketch or hold a note to save my life
led to me to try and express myself otherwise. When I picked up
my first camera (an old Canon point and shoot) things seemed
right. Perhaps it didn’t appear as though skill was necessary to
try and create with it (since you literally pointed and clicked) but
I found it a great challenge to frame subjects in interesting ways
and really develop my “eye” so to speak. Then, of course, came
the added test of learning Photoshop, which is daunting in and of
itself. Using various resources at my disposal (mainly the internet),
I began to develop my skills and branch out from shooting nature
to people, primarily self portraits, before gaining the nerve to ask
my friends to pose for me. From there I slowly started working
with models and when it became clear I was going to need to
have more of a hand in the shoots, I began styling them as well.
My foray into styling was more out of necessity than anything
else. There wasn’t anyone that I could ask to style the shoots, so
pulling clothes and creating outfits became my job - one which I
have grown to love as much
as photography and editing.
Currently, I typically take on
several roles in the planning
of a shoot, from art direction,
to styling, to sometimes even
hair. Whatever it takes to
create the vision. It is a long
process, but one I find so
rewarding when the results
come out the way I intended.
I am constantly inspired by
what I see, hear, and dream.
I always say that if people
look at my work and think
its beautiful and pretty, then
I have accomplished what I
wanted to.

T H I S S H O O T was
actually inspired by Moxee!
I wanted to capture imag-
es that were reminiscent of
Moxee’s color scheme. The
dress chosen for the foggy
beach shots was not only
chosen for it’s colors, but I liked
the way the dress, with its
geometric pattern, reminded
me of some of the brilliant
collage work featured in
Moxee’s spring issue, blog,
& Flickr group. The turquoise
necklace featured with the
pink dress is actually one of
my very own handmade
jewelry pieces.

In between the bustle of diary dates crammed with
University work and Commercial / Editorial work,
sometimes I just like to do my own thing and enjoy
taking photographs without having to question what I
am shooting, why I am shooting what I am, or have
to worry about being assessed afterward. I have
learned very quickly that no matter what kind of cre-
ative you are, you need to take a break and have
fun, meeting new people along the way in order to re-
lax your mind. These two shoots are the result of that
decision, and I have a lot of affection for both of them,
despite them being so different from one another!
I have not yet published these series’ because I have
strongly believed I should wait for the right time to
share them. Sometimes I feel like that. I can be too
hasty with sharing photographs, uploading them so
soon and then losing appreciation for them, but by
waiting long enough my love for the photographs
grows, and gives me confidence to shoot more and
more. Confidence is everything.

This was shot in the sunny streets
and parks of Norwich, England
on the day of the Easter Fair in
Chapelfield Gardens, with Photogra-
pher Nicola Crossley. Photo days are
becoming more popular amongst
growing Photographers, an opportu-
nity to share tips, tricks and discover
beautiful places together, and most
importantly, to inspire each other. I
always come away from a photo
day with other photographers feel-
ing pleased & buzzing with creative
energy and ready to jump back into
work! My shoot with Nicola was no
exception, who made a wonderful
model and prop-hunting companion!
The vibrant colours of the fair and
locations make this series one that
truly reflect my feelings of positivity
and enthusiasm on the day of the
shoot, which I’m proud of. Some-
times shoots like this one do not need
concepts; they just need an open
mind and opened eyes- anything
can happen on a photo day!
“Black Balloon” is one of my few stu-
dio shoots. I personally try to evade
the beckoning call of the studio due
to its clinical aesthetic that can be
awfully uninspiring and at the same
time rather daunting! However, this
shoot for me was an opportunity to
be playful, and working with a model
that I have worked with and gotten to
appreciate for her positivity and creative
input. The theme was loosely based
around the phrase ‘Post- Apocalyptic,’
the model looking almost skeletal and
strange. It quickly evolved into a quirky
shoot with dozens of black balloons
flying around the studio! The Make-up
Artist produced a striking and bold
look on Felicity that makes this shoot
such a unique piece in my portfolio. The
experience dashed my fears of using
the studio, and I think I know where I
will be hiding on rainy days!

I A M I N S P I R E D B Y F I N E A R T S.
There are paintings that guide me in terms of color, shades
and the atmosphere. Having classical art as the ideal I try
to reach. I think photographs should have their own poetry.
Each picture has the capacity to evoke emotion from your heart,
rather than your rational mind.
So for me, photography is not about capturing a moment, but
about creating a picture, an artwork of its own meaning and
value. The whole atmosphere, colors, tints, details – you go
through it, you perfect them, you set up one more take – with
only one photograph in the end. Sometimes I think that a series is
only a variation of the same picture, which is rather unnecessary.
Less is more. It applies equally to portraits and landscapes.
My main aim as a photographer is to fill the picture with air,
color and sensation. So while looking at the photograph, one
can feel the air, pure and
spacious. The space should be
visually comfortable. The en-
vironment makes us what we
are, and living in a big city
makes your eyes starve for
purity. Billboards, posters, the
whole outdoor advertisement
thing, people rushing through
the streets and abudance of
color, uglyness and pollution.
When it comes to visual culture
you automatically turn to light,
space, harmony & minimalism.

I G R E W U P mostly in
a small Californian town. The
hikes in the summer and the
coyotes on my street at night
influenced much of my subject
matter. For a while growing
up I wanted to be a writer,
but I became an illustrator
instead. Now I try to create
images that have a sense of
narrative to them, that tell a
story. I also really like bicycles
and the space program, and
along with drawing, they are
all things that I never really
grew out of. I always did want
to go to space camp.

M Y M O T H E R I S F R O M Budapest, Hungary and my
father is from the beautiful Swedish island, Gotland. I was born
in a village called Kinna, Sweden and growing up in this small
place never quite felt like home. It made me daydream a whole
lot, and of course, I desired to travel far, far away.
I moved to Oslo, Norway after graduation and I have lived in
Norway since - it’s a wonderful country. The nature is breath-
taking and makes me feel at home. In my photography, there’s
often a connection between humans and nature.
My love for film photography has existed for as long as I can
remember. My father was always carrying around a snapshot
camera or filming our family’s events. My father has social anxi-
ety, so he never attended the big events like graduations or
trips to the amusement park, but I always felt that they weren’t
the ones that counted anyways. The most beloved memories I
have from my childhood are when my whole family (my mother,
father and two sisters) squeezed into a car and drove across
Sweden to visit relatives or just for a vacation, stopping close to
beautiful fields to have hot cocoa and cinnamon buns. Just us,
being together.
When I was about 19, on a
trip to Hungary, my mother
gave me a compact 35mm
camera and that is when
it all really began. I started
photographing to remember
things better, because I am
quite forgetful when it comes
to details. Looking at one pho-
to from someplace reminds
me of almost everything
around the time the photo
was taken.
I don’t write a journal. I take
photographs to remember
the things I do and feel, but I
also try and achieve different
mind states that my viewers
can relate to and go back
and reminisce in my pictures.

I A M K E E L Y B R I G H T M O R E and my clothes are
Kee Boutique. I love everything pretty and vintage. I like nothing
better than rooting through flea markets and car boots for hid-
den gems, pieces of lace, broaches, fabrics, whatever I can find,
then creating something beautiful from something on its last legs!
I started Kee Boutique in July last year, just after graduating from
university. I have always been creative, designing and using my
mum’s sewing machine as a child. I started selling my clothes
online, in markets and in other people’s shops but always dreamt
of having my own shop. My shop is in a beautiful art deco build-
ing with several other independent shops which is a great place
to visit in Leeds. I also use it as a studio where customers can
find me behind my sewing machine making my new garments
to sell in the shop, online and elsewhere. I either make brand
new clothes from vintage materials or rework unloved vintage
clothes so every piece is a one-off and can be custom made
for each customer. I take inspiration from the 20’s to now and
love mixing English and French styles. I love what I do, meeting
new creative people who I can learn from, doing fashion shows
and photoshoots, and seeing people wearing my designs. I hope
people love them too!

is the time you can spend taking pictures. I’m boring and I always
get bored, so it’s a medium that keeps me busy.
I find inspiration with accessories. I imagine a hat, a crown... and
I start taking or drawing the pictures in my head. It helps for
D-day.
There are many ways to accessorize a style. And when I don’t
think about shooting something fashionable, I take pictures of
what’s around and what looks good because it often will look
even better on film. Sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn’t,
but the essential thing is that I tried to get the element I liked.
I wouldn’t take pictures of
someone that doesn’t match
my beauty criteria (it sounds
bad, I know), therefore I have
very few models.
I walk with my head up, so I
see the tops of buildings and
take pictures of them. I always
look at architecture even if I
have seen it a million times,
because there’s always some-
thing new appearing.

and I am from the Gold Coast, Australia. My photography follows
my day-to-day happenings. I like looking for the interesting or
unusual in a scene that others may miss, photographing it, then
sharing it with my family and friends. Ultimately, the world is full
of amazing people, places and parties, so why wouldn’t you get
involved... and capture some memories in the process.
I would have to say my parents inspired me to get creative,
which is something that I have always been really happy about.
I have always had an interest in different creative mediums, but
I began photography just before I went travelling to South Amer-
ica a year or so ago. I started because it gave me the perfect
opportunity (and a bit of a push) to go and learn something
that I have always had an
interest in but never really
pursued. Being self-taught,
I have really enjoyed the
learning process that has gone
along with it all and shooting
film is also always an excit-
ing process to be involved
in. Good or bad, there are
always some interesting results
that come from the process.
Whatever happens, enjoy.

With rachel souza
AN INTERVIEW
52
WE’LL START OFF EASY - HOW DID YOU GET INTO
PHOTOGRAPHY? DO YOU REMEMBER ANY OF THE
FIRST PHOTOS YOU EVER TOOK? While I can’t exactly
remember what sparked my interest in photography and drew
me in, I do, however, remember when I was around 12 years old
going to the store and buying 3 packs of disposable film cameras
and snapping all kinds of pictures. I would have my two cousins
model for me, I would curl their hair and pick out outfits and go
on little “photoshoots” around the house. I can remember handing
them a flower from their garden and instructing them to “look
down at it and look sad”. I would also bring lots of disposable film
cameras on family vacations and later get the pictures developed
and make scrapbooks. In June of 2009 I was really into black
and white photography and also macro photography using my
digital camera. I would get prints of them at the store and put
them in a little journal, and it was about that time that one of
my friends introduced me to
the wonderful world of Flickr
and my photography just took
off and blossomed from there.
WHAT IS IT THAT IN-
SPIRES YOU AND HOW
DO YOU PREPARE/BEGIN
A PHOTOSHOOT? I’m ex-
tremely inspired by music lyr-
ics, especially that of The Spill
Canvas. Their lyrics have in-
spired a great amount of my
work. I just really enjoy pulling
the lyrics apart and putting
them back together visually. I
don’t always illustrate the lyrics literally, I sometimes find I like to
take them out of context and let them take on a different mean-
ing. I’m also highly inspired the Vintage eras and fashion. Your
likely to find all three inspirations wrapped up in one photograph.
Some other inspirations I draw from nature, such as creeping ivy,
exposed tree roots, fog, etc. Last but definitely not least I often find
myself inspired by the other creative and talented photographers
on Flickr. After all, they inspired me to try some of the more elabo-
rate and heavily manipulated type images such as levitation, and
working with layers and textures. Another way Flickr inspires me
is through my taking part in some of their weekly themes or as-
signment groups, I like to challenge myself to think outside the box
while still following the given theme or assignment.
When preparing for a photoshoot I almost always know exactly
what I want it to look like in my head, so the night before I’ll
gather all the clothing, accessories, props, etc. that we’ll need pack
them up and charge my camera’s battery. Last year my usual
model Melissa and I invested in a pop-up changing room so we
make sure we pack that too. I do a lot of checking the weather
channel for last minute changes too because in New England the
weather can change in an instant.
IN MOXEE’S SPRING ISSUE, YOU MENTIONED YOUR
LOVE FOR JEWELRY MAKING & POETRY WRITING. DO
YOU FIND THAT YOUR CREATIVE WORK IN ALL OF
THESE DIFFERENT FIELDS INFLUENCE EACH OTHER? I
do feel that my other creative outlets and hobbies all take a part
in influencing eachother. Sometimes I’ll take a photo and it will
inspire me to write a poem, or sometimes I’ll write a poem that
inspires a photograph. My jewelry making abilities come in handy
when I need a particular accessory for a photoshoot. I also have
used some of my watercolor paintings to create interesting double
exposures.
DO YOU PREFER DIGITAL OR FILM NOWADAYS?
I prefer digital.
WHAT IS IT ABOUT DIGI-
TAL PHOTOS THAT YOU
ADORE? I prefer digital pho-
tos because I enjoy the instant
gratification of seeing the shot
I just took, and making sure
it looks the way I intended.
While I love the look of film;
the graininess and lightleaks,
for me it’s too unpredictable,
you never know if your go-
ing to have a masterpiece
or a complete disaster. For
those time when I’m craving
a film like feel or edge I en-
joy the challenge of achieving
it through editing, with layers
and textures.
SO, WHAT’S A DAY IN
THE LIFE OF RACHEL
LIKE, EXACTLY? A day
in the Life of Rachel is pretty
ordinary. I wake up early for
my split shift as a teacher at
a local day care. When I’m
home in between shifts I get a
chance to catch up on house
work and spend some time
either editing photos or upload-
ing and commenting contacts
on Flickr. Also, I’ll often use this
time to jot some new ideas or
inspiration in my journal ap-
propriately titled “Photography
Ideas and Inspiration”. Then
it’s back to work where I find
other ways to be creative, whether it’s helping classroom teachers
with lesson ideas or putting together kid-made monthly themed
bulletin boards. After work I make dinner and enjoy spending time
with my Husband and our two dogs. The majority of my picture
taking happens on the weekends. My usual model Melissa and I
are earlybirds so we’re usually already snapping away by 9:00
am and are usually done shortly after noon. Then I’ll spend the
next few hours going through, selecting and editing photos.
WOULD YOU RATHER HAVE IT BE SPRING OR AUTUMN
THE ENTIRE YEAR? I think if I had to choose between Spring
and Autumn I would have it be spring for the entire year. All
the pretty flowers make for great photo opportunities, and who
doesn’t love the smell of spring rain.
DO YOU HAVE A SINGLE FAVORITE PHOTOGRAPH
THAT YOU’VE TAKEN? My favorite photo I’ve ever taken
would have to be a portrait of my model Melissa De Lima I took
in an abandoned office building in Swansea, Massachusetts. It
was one of those days where I should have checked the weather
one more time before we left. The forecast was predicting low
50’s, but it ended up being so cold we could see our breath. So
after freezing, climbing through broken glass windows, and nearly
being scared to death when a gust of wind slammed one of the
office doors closed, I was more than thrilled when I saw the shot
on the camera. I almost didn’t edit the shot at all I was so happy
with it, but decided to give it a slightly warmer yellow tone to
enhance the beautiful natural light that surrounded her.

I A M A L I S B O A P O R T U G A L graduate in
Photography and Visual Culture. I rarely work with something
that I do not know or something I do not feel, so my influences
are personal, even when it comes to cinema or music, it always
has that emotional background. My photos are usually as much
about myself as they are about the subjects being photographed.
It’s like each one of my photos are a journey.

I W A S B O R N in
1990 and am a photographer
based in Norwich, England,
with special focuses on the
fairy-tale and whimsical fan-
tasy of portraiture. My keen
interest in dreams and the
imagination has led to the
production of this photographic
series of self-portraits.
Containing the vibrant begin-
nings a body of work that I
intend to expand upon in due
course, exploring the nature of
dreams and what they symbol-
ize and reflect upon this world.
This photographic series has
become a very personal
exploration, realising what
some of the visual elements
represent and symbolize for
me, which has been a won-
derful feeling, to educate
myself with my own art is not
a regular occurance, after all!

I , E V A M A R I A G O N Z A L E Z L O P E Z ,
was born in 1986 in a small village in the province of Jaen in
Andalusia. And that’s where I started learning about photogra-
phy in a very experimental way.
In 2002, I moved to Granada, where I then began studying
photography and developing my own style. I developed my
style with a love story that was somewhat rough and left me
in deep sadness. I began to see photography as more than one
activity, but a way to translate my feelings and impressions in
the light and transforming them into a tangible form that can be
seen on paper.
Although born in the digital age, I focused primarily on film.
My portraits are characterized by a melancholy touch, soft and
subtle tones of vintage film grain conveying a sense of recogniz-
able time. There is always a touch of melancholy in my pictures,
because I love film cameras and they are always going to get a
rough grain which permeates every level, as a product of light.
My images are also characterized by soft tones, subtle, small
imperfections and well-studied use of light, where natural light is
the key theme of the collection.
The pictures, for me, are my window to the world. Everything
around me is a huge desert of asphalt that I’m trying to escape ...
to preserve my innocence in a
society that seems to be losing
that quality. A vision of my
city, this desert vast, desolate
asphalt, the futile resistance
against the loss of innocence...
There are thousands of times
in life, and some of them de-
serve to be captured... feelings
and images... and that’s all
there for me.
My style is totally recognizable
and distinctive. It’s so easy to
get carried away and jump
into the imaginary world of
sublime landscapes, dynamic
skies, dreamlike landscapes
and feelings hidden in remote
corners imaginable.

P R O F E S S I O N A L, E N G A G I N G, passionate and
highly talented are just some of the words that come to mind
when asked to describe my high-grade photography. I have well
and truly hit my stride as a photographer, having come a long
way since my humble beginnings.
My portfolio encompasses a wide variety of material, from highly
competitive fashion photography to stunning stills from my work
within the music industry right through to the fine art of wedding
photography.
My high level of professionalism has helped aid features in the
“Digital Photography and Design Magazine” multiple times. I was
also charged with producing the cover imagery for “The Last
Vampire” novel series by Christopher Pike as well as having been
featured by General Pants Co and Vogue Italia online.
Suzi Rose, Jessica Beattie and Mackenzie Mode are amongst
my fashion clients, while my musically inclined shoots have been
produced on Cass Eager’s album art. I also have performed
live shoots for international
acts such as Thirsty Merc and
Against Me as well as pho-
tographically documenting the
2010 MusicOz Awards.
Bearing these achievements in
mind, my prospective clients
can be assured that any work
produced on their behalf will
not only embody a profession-
al attitude, but shall be eye
catching, engaging, satisfying
and unique.

I ‘ M L E A H R E E N A G O R E N , and I am an illustrator
living in Brooklyn, New York. I grew up in Southern California,
and its plants, colors, and sunlight inspire a lot of my work. I
love pretty things -- girls, flowers, patterns, dresses -- even if they
aren’t always drawn in the prettiest way. Ink spots and wob-
bly lines makes the drawing feel more real. A lot of people say
I draw sad girls, and I suppose it’s true. They’re young like me,
and they’re still learning and growing and seeing and thinking,
and it’s not always happy or easy.
I love making things that other people can use and experience.
I’ve been making hand printed and sewn clothing for a while
now, and it’s really nice to talk to the girls that email me with
orders and requests. Right now I’m focussing a lot on making
more repeat patterns and designs for textiles. I’m very excited for
the future and to keep making new things!

P H O T O G R A P H Y I S S O M E T H I N G of a
meditative and restorative practice for me. Meditative in the
sense that the process of selectively framing reality is a profound
conscious act. The solitude of individually mastering a small
universe and making sense of that chaos is empowering. Photog-
raphy is restorative in the sense that the photos I see after are
immortalized as part of a narrative – colored by my memories
and experiences. I enjoy film as I find it to be as fickle and
unpredictable only as far as its user is willing to let precision
and clarity go. To me, my best moments are those that are
personal – an intimacy beyond subjective understanding. Art was
never meant to give away the
specifics. I am in constant
tension between the natural-
istic and humanistic sides of
photography, but in the end,
it is beauty in the everyday
that inspires me.
I’m hoping to combine a career
with my love for photos with
media and visual design.

W E D E F I N I T I V E L Y L O V E photography and
graphic design, so after some experience in the fashion industry,
with a bounded budget and a few digital cameras, we built a
small home-studio and started shooting at every friend willing to
pose just for the sake of it. The design studies provided us a lot
of theory and practice on art, fashion and composition, and we
wanted to mix all that in a unique creative project. So here we
are, hoping one day to make it our main support, but we know
it’s a long way.
Metamorphosis is our essence. We become anything that
activates our senses to create. Photography for us is very much
like music. Each photo has its own sound and story behind its
own reality. So we enjoy creating worlds, distorting that reality
as the way its been given and connecting deeply with our own,
born from things that influence us, such us good films, books,
painting and music. We are constantly playing with space, time
and cameras. A models’ spirit is essential for us. We defend
beautiful imperfections; we like different minds with some
“otherworldly” thing; we ad-
mire strong and expressive
people with a very relaxed
and simple mind, very aware
of their own emotions, and with
interesting thoughts and phi-
losophy. We like not taking life
too seriously. Its like returning
to the basics, less is more.
We like simple photography.
All that can make a photo
play a good song for us. Or
even make a beautiful and
harmonic silence. If it doesn’t,
its a dead one.
