Advice for the younglings out there looking through their first viewfinder?

You will discover through this object a way to see and explore the world in a way that nobody else than you can imagine. Photography is a window to a n universe in perpetual rebuilding that only your my mind can control. What’s the story behind the photo below? This photo results from visual experiments around a musician friend Clement Froissard (CandyClash), its public image and vision that I could have of him. This is only the beginning of a project in perpetual evolution and questioning... Any future projects or travels? I've just started a new project on Matthew Hawkins an English choreographer I do not really know yet where this will lead me ...

Where can we see more of your work?

Photo artist interview #57 - ELIZABETH FLEMING

• In 1-2 words, what do you shoot?

Small moments

• What’s your weapon of choice?

Canon 5D

• Where is your favorite place on earth?

My living room

• What would be your replacement Hobby/Profession if photography was dead?

Novelist

• Swimming with sharks or toiling with alligators?

I have a lot of eerie dreams about the ocean and sharks so I’ll go with alligators, simply based on the creepiness factor.

• What do you favor:

B&W or Color? Color

Film or Digital? Digital

Studio or Location? Location

Night or Day? Day

Portrait or Landscape? A combination

Dave Lee Roth or Sammy Hagar? Neither

• What is your most treasured possession?

My health. Without it nothing else really matters, except family.

• Favorite photo book and/or Favorite movie?

I always get stuck on favorites—it depends on the day, on my mood, on whether I’m trying to impress someone or I’m being honest. Top ten lists are somewhat easier—but if I had to pick one of each, at this particular moment, I would say Paul Graham’s A Shimmer of Possibility in the photo book category, and Ordinary People as my movie choice.

• Photographer/s that inspire you?

Again, Paul Graham, along with Doug DuBois, Tierney Gearon, Sophie Calle, and (I hate to admit it, given my subject matter) but yes, Sally Mann.

• Advice for the younglings out there looking through their first viewfinder?

Be authentic. It doesn’t matter if it’s been “done before”—if you shoot something that gives you that feeling of excitement, if you shoot something you’re deeply drawn to, you’ll naturally make it your own.

• What’s the story behind the photo below?

My daughter Edie had painted her entire face with watercolors for fun; she got into the bath to clean up and only a bit of blue was left around her eye. She lay back and that’s the one shot I got of her in a quiet moment.

• Any future projects or travels?

Because of my two young daughters we stick pretty close to home, which is why my projects originate in the domestic realm, but I’ll be in Portland for my first two-person show in the spring, and certainly will have my camera with me.

• Where can we see more of your work?

On my website: http://www.elizabethfleming.com and my blog, Tethered: http://elizabethflemingphotography.blogspot.com.

• In 1 word, last thing you’d say if time stopped right NOW?

Wait…
