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.

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.

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 , 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.

photography.

My high level of professionalism has helped aid features in the

“Digital Photography and Design Magazine” multiple times. I was

Vampire” novel series by Christopher Pike as well as having been

featured by General Pants Co and Vogue Italia online.

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.
