Do you make your props yourself?
I’ve found it ideal to do everything myself. I
come up with a concept, create the requisite,
clothing, choose the location and direct the hair
and makeup.
You have a beautiful color palette
throughout your work. How much
planning and work goes into your color
palette?
When I was working at a photo lab, I would
look at hundreds of photos a day trying to
understand what clients wanted and needed;
warmer, richer, brighter images always had
better success. I think this I use this experience
now. Before shooting, I plan the overall color
scheme. According to the chosen palette, I
select clothes, props, location, etc, making sure
that all of it plays within a single color range. On
the other hand, the color is only an addition to a
good idea. I am very pleased that my photos are
known first because of the story in the images.
