Where do you come from? Give us details: I was born in Poland but last 14 years leaving in London.
Is it important to have the support of your loved ones, family, friends?: I like being surrounded by creative people and for me networking is important. I get very excited when I am around new faces and get very inspired by them. If I hadn't met some of the amazing people along the way I wouldn't be doing what I am doing.
What kind of jobs did you have before your career took off?: The list is so looong :) from waiter through estate agent, chef, florist, butler etc.
What is creativity to you? Do you consider yourself to be creative? Why or why not?: Since a young age, I've felt the drive to create something unique. Whether that was through fashion, home décor, cooking, or other outlets. For me it is like therapy, I get totally lost when I am in my creative mood.
How would you like to be remembered?: As someone who made people happy!
What is the best advice that you have been given?: In general, people see you through their own perceptions, so don't worry too much about that and just be yourself.
What inspires you on a daily basis?: Number 1 music, traveling, lots of movies
“My photography journey started by taking photos of strangers and creating stories.”
What is your inspiration? How has personal experience influenced your creativity?: My photography journey started by taking photos of strangers and creating stories. I was obsessively studying the work of Marcin Ryczek, Henri Cartier, Robert Frank, Vivian Maier, Saul Leiter, etc. A few years ago I was diagnosed with depression and this new hobby really helped me to deal with this condition.
Did you feel like this journey would end? What is your approach to life?: All the things in our lives are somehow connected. I believe it will evolve into something new.
Do you have any regrets in life?: No, life is too short!
Who would you like to read from (Can you put me in touch with this person?)?: Larisa Stinga Photography
What would be your question to this person?: If you were arrested with no explanation, what would your friends assume you had done?
If you could ask yourself a question, what would it be?: If you were wrongfully put into an insane asylum, how would you convince them that you are sane and not pretending to be sane?
And your answer would be ?: that's a good question! I haven't figured it out yet :)
