Every project I develop is an opportunity to grow my abilities. It is not just about working on what clients or professors demand you, It is about making that project yours trying some things you had in mind and involving all your passions and knowledge on it.
The time I realized that was my best way to create, I was 15. To complete High School studies, I had to develop a final project, where I decided to involve myself into the fashion photography world. I always liked photography but I didn't get into a significant project before. The inspiring topic was rediscovering Rococó for one photography book and Art Decó for the other one. It was so interesting trying different outfits, locations, edits and scenes to create all those photos. In short, benefit from an stylistic apropiation.
I didn't just choose the discipline and the art periods I like the most, I also wanted to make new contacts and challenge myself to see how long I could go. That's why I decided to contact an alternative fashion stylist from London; Viveka Swann. Without any focused expectations I wrote her telling what I was working on, and for my surprise, SHE INVITED ME TO LONDON TO DEVELOP THE PROJECT TOGETHER. Her style feed fairly on with my idea and she had material and contacts that helped my project to go ahead in a more professional way. I won the opportunity to go one month to another country I've never seen before.
With all the material she putted in my hands and with her patience as a model, I realized a completely scenography. It was so gratifying having someone with experience working next to me, but respecting my space and decisions as the director of the project.
