Who is the person behind the photos?
My
partner Mark Sink and myself make the work together.
How did you discover photography and what makes
you keep on doing it?
When I was a child, my dad would
teach me the basics of using a camera. In high school I took a photo class and
knew from then on that is what I wanted to do. I set up a darkroom in my
family's second bathroom and would stay up all night printing.
Which artist would you like to work
with?
I have many artists I admire. I
already work with and collaborate with someone I love and admire, Mark Sink. I
feel very lucky to collaborate with him almost every day. Sylvie Tillmann,
Bruno Dayan, Paolo Roversi, Rineke Dijkstra, and Nazif Topçuoğlu
are a few of my contemporary favorites.
In your opinion, what are the characteristics of a photographer, and what
differentiates it from a good photo taker?
Well
almost everyone is a photographer these days with digital cameras. They are
easy to use, and a wonderful tool. I think a good photographer is someone who
thinks of art, photography, painting, history, cooking, life, people, all day
long, everyday all day and never takes a break from work. Art is not work as an
artist, it becomes like a labor of love, like raising a child. You would do
anything for it and never cease being committed to it. Art is life.
What are your hobbies besides photography?
I like to cook, I worked as a
cook for a couple years, I now work as a florist, I love flowers and bees, I
like to blog, watch people on the street, I sew and construct many of the
outfits in the pictures with the help of my mom, I like bookmaking.
Is there anything you want express with your works?
The way I see things.
What do you expect from your photographic future?
I expect there is a lot
for me ahead. I have ideas I am just starting to work on and I hope I become a
better photographer and make better work all the time. I hope that I am not
ever without a camera and if I am I hope I am doing something really wonderful
and interesting instead and then take a picture of it.

November is Rowena Waack
For the most parts I'm interested in fashion related portrait photography. I like to shoot outside and all I need is natural surroundings and people's natural beauty.
Principalmente mi interessa la fotografia di ritratto legata alla moda. Mi piace scattare in esterni e ho solo bisogno di un ambiente naturale e le bellezze naturali delle persone.
I've always been interested in fashion as a way to express yourself and that's why first I learned how to sew, thought about having a career in the business and have been working for fashion designers, but finally I realised I only want to be able to cover my personal needs and I'm not interested in selling anything that only rich people could afford.
I want to create something that is easy to share and would make people happy just by looking at it. I think this led me to photography, more than to drawing or painting.
Voglio creare qualcosa che sia facile da condividere e che renda felice la gente semplicemente guardandol
Photography can be very direct and honest, that's why I like it - it's mostly realistic and at the same time able to transport atmosphere and feelings. I'm trying to capture the beauty and/or extraordinary and I hope the people that see the pictures have a reaction towards it.
La fotografia può essere molto diretta e onesta, per questo mi piace - è per lo più realistico e allo stesso tempo in grado di trasportare l'atmosfera e sentimenti. Sto cercando di catturare la bellezza e / o lo straordinario e spero che le persone che vedono le immagini abbiano una reazione verso di esso.
