Why photography?
I've always known I'd be an artist, I never really cared what medium I'd end up with. I think I chose photography because it was the most challenging and offered the most instant gratification.Who is your favorite photographer of all time?
I'll always hold a special place in my heart for Tim Walker, and lately I've been really into Viviane Sassen.What inspires you?
Collaborations. Just looking at a great model or interesting clothing sends endless ideas to my brain.What do you look for when selecting a model to work with?
I love things that are otherworldly, beautiful, but also a bit weird or dark. These are qualities I also look for in a model.What kind of camera/equipment do you use?
I still use my trusty Canon T2i unless I feel a project would benefit from a higher quality camera, in which case, I'll rent. I'm not really a huge equipment junkie.What is your favorite project you have worked on?
That would probably be the Unearthly Creature of a Dream shoot I did with designer Scott Park. It was my first real fashion shoot and collaboration after moving to Los Angeles. So much blood, sweat and tears, but in the end, it was a great time and very much a learning experience.What is your personal style?
I look a bit like an art school drop out with a job in a really posh area of London (mostly because that's exactly what I am, haha)!MAKEUP ARTIST OF THE MONTH: MINA DIMAKIS-LEV
