_{Do you enjoy being a photographer? Honestly, as a creative person there’s nothing more enjoyable than being a photographer. Everything about it drives me, it’s really like an adrenaline shot. From the planning process to the final outcome, everything is so exciting. I love everything about Photography, even when everything goes wrong.}

_{When did you first get into photography?I think the photography world was exposed to me by my father. When I was little girl he would turn our bathroom into a darkroom. Red bulb, covered windows, complete darkness and loads of images. Especially black and white portraits of my mother. He would spend hours in there. When I grew a little bit bigger we would document every one of our adventures together, when going to the beach or forest. He would give me his camera and tell me to take any pictures that I like. So I started taking pictures of flowers, leaves and trees. As I grew up I didn’t take photography serious but it made sense with everything that I did. The first time that I said I want to be a photographer was in 2016 in Berlin. It was a school trip. We went to the Me Collectors Room to see the work of Cindy Sherman. What I felt while looking at her work is unforgettable. That’s the day that I said “ I want to be a photographer.” Since then I started taking images. Mainly of flowers, nature and buildings due to the lack of my confidence, but I knew I wanted to do something much more than that. So I did.}

_{How would you describe your style? Someone once asked me, what do I enjoy more, Illustrating or Photography? I’ve explained to them that when I draw, paint or illustrate everything from my little head stays on the canvas. However, photography let’s me bring it all to life, all of my fantasies even if it’s just for those few seconds. Which is what I would describe my photography style. Playful. Staged. Surreal. Odd. I think it’s very important as a photographer to know what type of pictures you want to take. There’s a lot of good photographers out there that focus mainly on film photography or street photography, fashion photography you name it. Staged photography is something that I love doing. Creating that dream state.}

_{What inspires your work and does this change depending what project your working on? Everything inspires my work. Fantasies. Experiences. Freedom. Identity. Colour. Diversity. Life in general but make it playful and extravagant. Personally for me I don’t think it ever changes.}

_{What has been your favourite project so far? Every project is my favourite project. There has been some weak ones which I’m not proud of but it’s all part of my work. Every project is as exciting as the other one. However, if I was to choose, probably my Slumber Party photoshoot. It was a dream. I was honestly so happy throughout the whole day, I really can’t wait to publish the images.}

_{What’s your opinions on body image? Body Image is a very interesting and important topic. As a photographer I feel like it is my job to put spotlight on bodies that aren’t considered “beautiful” especially in the fashion industry. That means, not only size or height but also colour, skin conditions, gender, hair. Everything that shapes an individual into who they are. To normalise natural bodies. I want to encourage all to love themselves through my art and photography. Our flaws make up for our own perfections. Accepting our body and beauty without hiding the reality of it. Which is why I choose to work with ordinary people, not only “models”.}

^{I really hope that there’s someone out there that sees my image and says “I’ve been waiting for something like this.”}

_{Do you want your photography to send a message? I think what I want is for the viewer to feel free, to feel inspired. I want the images to help you feel confident, to be able to relate, to be able to feel. To understand. I really hope that there’s someone out there that sees my image and says “ I’ve been waiting for something like this.”}

_{What advice would you give to other aspiring photographers? Creativity is important but isn’t unique. How you choose your team is as important as the project and the outcome. Working with people who you feel more comfortable with can really benefit your work, it makes the shoots way much easier and better. Which is why I would advise to make working friendships. They are really important because communication and clear understanding is key and without it your project can really suffer.}
