Vermont, USA.
q: How’d you describe your photographs/photography?
a: I don’t know how to answer this. My photos are mood pieces that are both melancholy and tranquil? Taking pictures is a good way to get some of the loneliness and sadness out of me and into the world where people who are maybe feeling the same way can look at what I’ve shared and go, oh wow, yes, I’m with...

q: What do you want to show through your photographs?
a: I’ve always been intrigued with innocence and natural beauty. I use my sisters for the majority of my shoots and since they’re all young, I am able to capture the youthfulness without really trying. I want to create photos with an ethereal and magical vibe to them. As of now, I haven’t truly...

q: Why do you take photographs?
a: I guess I’m trying to get closer and as close as possible to the things themselves. But then I also just really enjoy it. I mean, shooting photos and stuff. There’s something spiritual and something technical and that’s basically all good.

Joanna McClure
New York City, USA.
q: You’ve shot many portraits, any tips when shooting complete strangers?
a: My advice for shooting strangers is to always remember that the subject is the most important element to the shoot. If you loose their attention or their cooperation you have made your job very hard. I go into shooting people I have never met before with a plan, some vague ideas I would like...

q: You mentioned in your website about your obsession with dreams. Any interesting dreams lately?

Italy. Born 1991.
q: Do you feel that it’s strange that when viewers see your photograph, they look at the aesthetics rather than the sentimental value that the picture has?
a: I thought about it but I think it is not my case. Sometimes I receive comments by some people that make me compliments on the depth of field, this or that and they do it using technical terms that I do not know,...

Benedetta Pomini
London, UK.
q: What does photography mean to you?
a: Photographs are memories. If I think of photography I can hear my
granpa saying “Ok everybody here, I want to take pictures”. He had a
Rolleiflex which now is lost somewhere in my grandma’s house, and me
and my brothers were his favorite subject. Yes, photographs are
memories, the pieces of my private puzzle.

q: What is your project “Decay” about?
a: For one of my classes in school, we had to make a digital self portrait of ourselves, and we were allowed to use any digital medium we wanted. I chose do make gifs because I had been wanting to do something with gifs for a while. It’s mostly a reflection on how I felt at the time of the assignment. Moving to New...
