1. What was your inspiration for this piece?

I’m currently taking a photography class at UIW and these images were shot for two different assignments. I wanted to create an eerie portrait and also use some of the techniques we had learned in class which is how I  ended up with my final photo. I also had a lot of fun in the studio playing with props so adding googly eyes to the drinking glasses was my nod towards childhood but with a twist. 

2. What is your creative process? (How do you go about creating?)

I do start off with an idea but I don’t let it hold me down too much, especially in photography where you can really do whatever you want since it’s your photo. I like to play around with props mostly.

3. What are some influences on your artistic process?

Honestly, I spend a good amount of time on Pinterest and I feel like that’s where I get a lot of ideas and inspiration for subjects of my photos. I’m new to photography so seeing what has already been done before reassures me that I can make my ideas come to life.

4. Is there anything more you’d like our readers/viewers to know about you or your work?

I like to dip my toes here and there into different aesthetics so usually, my photos never have just one theme and I think that’s very clear when you look at my two submissions side by side.
