Interview Interview with Kylli Sparre The Ballet Dancer who Became a Photography Sensation Kylli Sparre is a talented artist who creates intensely powerful and surreal photography at times aided with what she refers to as photo manipulation. Her early training, however, was not in photography but in ballet as a dancer. When she realized that ballet was not the path for her, she lost her creative outlet, and she would not find another until she discovered photography a few years ago. Her photos have been exhibited at prestigious photography festivals in France and Europe, winning various prizes including the Grand Prix de la Decouverte which it won at both Le Salon de la Photo (2013) and the International Fine Art Photography Competition (2012). She has also been published in PH Magazine and BELOW Magazine. Photos by Kylli Sparre We interviewed Kylli to ask her about her concepts, ideas, and creative process.
