1) Can you tell us something about you?
I was born in a small island in the Atlantic Ocean called Madeira. I lived there for most of my life. I also lived in Lisbon and Rio de Janeiro for some time. I recently relocated to Australia.

2) Where do you live and work now?
I’m living and working in Sydney at the moment.

3) How long have you been a photographer?
I’ve been taking photos for many years but I never gave photography that much attention until a few years back. I used to be way more interested in film. That’s something I want to go back to pretty soon as well.

4) How did you get into photography?
I got a camera as a gift from a friend of mine when I was a kid. I remember using it but I don’t remember which photos I took with that thing. I had a couple of cameras I used to take on trips, then I got a video camera which I used until it broke. A few years ago I started getting the photography equipment I was happy with and I’m still using that at the moment.

5) Where your inspiration comes from?
I’m inspired by other photographers, film, music, images that I see everywhere, the work of other artists, people and life itself.

6) What does it mean for you streetphotography?
I think it’s a genre within photography. I don’t really know how to describe it but I tend to associate it with the kind of photographs made in city streets that capture little glimpses of everyday life.

7) Can you tell us something about your portraits, what’s is important to focus for you?
I like when you get a non posed look from the subject. It’s hard when you’re trying to shoot someone’s portrait and they’re posing too obviously or beaming their “camera smile”. Sometimes it’s pretty hard to get what you want. There’s quite a bit of luck involved as well. Sometimes good portraits happen when you’re not even trying to shoot a person’s portrait. Sometime’s they happen in candid situations.

8.) What are your future works, do you have a special project?
I’ve been shooting a lot of different stuff for publications as well as personal work. I’m just editing new work and trying to figure out what works and what doesn’t. I’m also looking into publishing a small edition book soon.

He’s a 26 years old self-taught photographer who always wanted to study history of art… but instead of that he became dental technician… and after that he started studying psychology…. only to realize that the only thing he truly loves is photography…

1) Can you tell us something about you?
I’m Addicted to lemon-ginger tea constant dreamer and social psychology student.

2) Where do you live and work now?
I’m currently living in Wroclaw, beautiful city on south-west side of Poland.

3) How long have you been a photographer?
It’s hard to tell. I still got problems with calling myself a photographer… I’m more like a guy who loves to take photos. Anyway I have been taking photos for almost 3 years now.

4) How did you get into photography?
It was my father who introduced me to analog photography when I was around 10. I still got photos from my first fashion oriented session with a cousin of mine: I was 12 and she was 7 at that time. While being in high school I got movie camera and got totally obsessed with it. At that time I was grazy about possibility of capturing movement and was making surreal mini movies. After some time I got bored with it and switched to photography. That way I came back to my roots.

5) Where your inspiration comes from?
People, places, sounds, light, nature, dreams… Everything I experience is inspirational in a way

6) What does it mean for you streetphotography?
Street photography is raw, real and quick. It’s all about being in the right place in the right time.

7) Can you tell us something about your portraits, what’s is important to focus for you?
I like to concentrate on the relationship between me, my model and environment and try to capture something unnamed, uncontrolled and fragile.

8.) What are your future works, do you have a special project?
Recently I started a project called magnetic.elements. It’s a kind of a diary where I collect certain photos that are importent to me.

Chad M. Pelton is a Knoxville, TN-based book designer, photographer, and collage artist currently concentrating on three bodies of photo work: Appalachian Vernacular/Landscape, Window Reflections, and a photo essay based on the poetry of Jesse Graves.

Utilizing a Medium Format rangefinder camera and car, Pelton drives the surrounding Appalachian roads making observations of the everyday (objects and places sometimes overlooked) as a means to document our region and its profound effect on the way we live and work. The work illustrates personal stories through landscape, collected objects, refuse, and ephemera.

Pelton has designed books for the University of Tennessee Press, the Knoxville Writers’ Guild, and jwlawson Fine Art. His work is held in private collections, has been exhibited in galleries in Milwaukee, New York, and throughout the Appalachian region. His work has also appeared online, and in print via Knoxville alt-weekly the Metro Pulse. Current projects are being documented for publication via his independent publishing house, REFUSE! Press.

1)Can you tell us something about you?
I like film over digital, records over CDs, paper over plastic, and I like old things.

2) Where do you live and work now?
I live in East Tennessee, in the foothills of the Smoky Mountains, in the city of Knoxville. I currently work as a book designer.

3) How long have you been a photographer?
I got my first camera when I was 10 or 11, but I didn’t get really interested until the late 90’s when I was working in Idaho. My friend Lawson sent me a book on photography, and I borrowed an old Nikkormat from my father to play around with. My interest has grown ever since.

4) How did you get into photography?
I started taking shots of my work (at the time I was doing research on grizzly bears in northern Idaho), and I started carrying a camera with me everywhere I went. I wanted to document what was happening in my life at any given moment. It was an exciting time.

5) Where your inspiration comes from?
My inspiration comes from a love of the outdoors, an interest in the Appalachian region of the US, and a sincere interest in the daily objects, people, and places that we often overlook.

6) What does it mean for you streetphotography?
Street photography to me is the idea of having a camera with me all the time, and making art out of the situations my brain is drawn to.

7) Can you tell us something about your portraits, what’s is important to focus for you?
I don’t do very many portraits. I guess my portraits are more of places than people. I like to gather information about people through their surroundings, and the places or objects that they live and work in.

8.) What are your future works, do you have a special project?
I am working on a series of photos to accompany a friend’s poetry, a series that focuses on windows, and also have an ongoing project with my friend jw lawson, where we travel to different “river towns” in the Eastern US to spend a few days drinking beer and making art.

I am a 21 year old photographer currently living in Sweden. I studied photography for two years
during upper secondary school (2005-2007), but the interest has been with me since I was younger.
My father gave me my first camera as a christmas present when I was seven years old, and already
at this young age I could see the fascination of analogue photography. I shot roll after roll, some were
developed and some were not, and I still have the un-developed ones in my closet somewhere.

Once I decided to study photography in school I switched to digital, and a few years after graduation I went
back to analogue. The process of film photography is so much more appealing to me, and compared
to digital it often gives a little more interesting results. I often portray myself in my photography, but I
almost never see my self-portraits as self-portraits. Instead, looking at myself in these pictures feels
strange and I always feel like it’s not me, it’s more like it could be anyone, or some kind of alter ego.
In July last year I published my first book through blurb.com and I have been featured in other publications,
both on internet magazine and printed issues. Most recently I was featured in ELLE Girl Magazine in Korea
and the new independent Raw Magazine.

1) Can you tell us something about you?

I am 21 years old, I live with my cats and make cookies all the time.

2) Where do you live and work now?

I live a couple of kilometres outside of Halmstad, on the west coast of Sweden. At the
moment I am unemployed and photography is what I keep myself busy with.

3) How long have you been a photographer?

About six years, I started getting serious with it when I began secondary school in 2004.

4) How did you get into photography?

It’s always been there, ever since I was little. Mostly because of my father who is
also a photographer. He bought me my first camera (a regular point-and-shoot 35mm)
when I was about seven years old, and he often let me try out his SLR.

5) Where your inspiration comes from?

This is always a difficult question. Sometimes I have no idea what inspires me, but it
can basically be anything from movies, music, books, a stream of light or a location.
And of course, other photographers always makes me motivated to shoot something.

6) What does it mean for you streetphotography?

For me, street photography has always been portraits of people in action, mostly in an
environment located on the streets of a larger city, and preferably in black and white.

7) Can you tell us something about your portraits, what’s is important to focus for you?

I think I would have to say that what I focus on is mostly intimacy, and this is also one
of the things I find most important when it comes to portraits in general. There has to be
some depth in order for it to be interesting, even if it is spontaneous. I also think it is
important to make the location noticable in some way in the portrait, just a glimpse of a
wallpaper, floor, curtains or anything like that. I always like the feeling of portraits combined
with landscapes as well.

8.) What are your future works, do you have a special project?

At the moment I have nothing special going on, but I have had thoughts on starting a
diptych project: to shoot some rolls with just vertical photos and then putting them
together into a series of diptychs. I don’t know what will happen with these once I’m
finished, but an exhibition would be nice.

My life started lending itself to photography a few years ago and so I’ve since manufactured myself into these pictures. I found myself in me the night of Brandon’s funeral, but I’d give it back if he was somehow still here with us. So if you know who’s running heaven these days, tell them I’m ready and willing to negotiate– I want my faith in humanity back. though I’m not changing the world, it means the world to me.

1) Can you tell us something about you?
Still alive. I am 18 years young, but live like I’m already dead.

2) Where do you live and work now? 
I live and work in the town of Huntington Beach, at the bottom of California. Here, I bus tables. It’s not so bad, I just miss the days when I knew every single waitress.

3) How long have you been a photographer?
I caught an eye for seeing life through a lens early on, filming skating with all of my friends. I didn’t get into photography until my senior year of high school, my life now revolves around it’s axis.

4) How did you get into photography?
For the girls. Alot has changed since then.

5) Where your inspiration comes from?
Brandon Zergman. Without all of my friends and lovers, I’d be dead.

6) What does it mean for you streetphotography?
“I’ve grown tired of looking backward, it makes moving forward much too difficult. ” -Chris

7) Can you tell us something about your portraits, what’s is important to focus for you?
Most everything turns into the opposite of what I plan it to be, photography is no different. I’ve based one project off a dream I had, the rest are spontaneous.

8.) What are your future works, do you have a special project?
As of now, myself and three others are pushing a creative collective of images that will be sharing out photos, art, short stories,poetry, etc. entitled “We Dont Do Books”. I’m working on a solo project as well, entitled “A Love Token” but until then, the future will continue to freak me out.

Editor’s note: We asked to different photographers the same questions and in these days we’ll publish their answer, so you can see the differences on their answers. I hope you like this kind of comparisons.

Jake Sigl is a young photographer who’s work has been seen in independent magazines across the United States. His distinct, raw photos continue to bring a refreshing outlook to his world.

1) Can you tell us something about you?
I’m an explorer. I’m enjoying my youth and making new discoveries.

2) Where do you live and work now?
I live in a small suburban town in California. Usually, I shoot in San Francisco. I am looking forward to doing more commissioned work.

3) How long have you been a photographer?

I had my first photo published about a year and a half ago, but I have been photographing for three years now.

4) How did you get into photography?

In 7th grade, I was in a yearbook class and wasn’t interested in writing, so my teacher gave me a disposable camera and said, “Take pictures of people. Get close to their faces.” So that’s what I did. And my passion grew more after that, and the next year I received a small digital camera for my birthday which quickly became my best friend. Inevitably, I wanted more. When I was a sophomore in high school, I had asked for a nice camera for Christmas. Curiosity got the best of me and I ended up looking in all my parents usual Christmas present hiding spots. I found it, and when my parents were out of the house I got the camera out, invited my friend over, and we took a walk and took pictures. When I saw the pictures on the computer I realized that I could actually pursue photography. It was definitely worth it, and I still think my parents don’t know.

5) Where does your inspiration come from?
Genuine, true experiences and honest people. Last summer I discovered how stunning nature is. And not just nature as in forests and sunsets, but everyday nature. Like simple houses and finding symmetry and patterns in unexpected places, I really just shoot what I see in front of me.

6) What do you think about street photography?
Street photography is extremely genuine and straightforward. It’s about sending a message, giving one new eyes to see from.

7) Can you tell us something about your portraits, what is important to focus for you?
The unwritten rule of taking good portraits is to get close to the subjects face, I disagree. I think that sometimes you can see more into a person when you see them interacting with their surroundings. Portraits are deeper than skin. For me, it is important to capture the subjects actuality, uncontrolled, as if I weren’t behind the camera taking a photograph. Sometimes I dream what it would be like to be invisible, and walk around with a camera. I would love that.

8.) What are your future works, do you have a special project?
I’m documenting the current financial irony in the United States. I am also very thrilled to be working with upcoming musician Dylan Fox on his album.

Full blooded Filipino born 1989, I am no stranger to moving around. Change doesn’t scare me it excites me. I popped out of my mother’s belly in Saudi Arabia and moved shortly after because she thought it an unfit place to raise a child. I’m an only child and my parents spoiled me rotten.

I wouldn’t have favored it at all if they did otherwise. We’ve lived in California and Illinois. But several times in each state. I enjoy traveling very much, even more when it’s not at my expense. Sometimes I have a bad habit of leaving something unfinished, I lose interest too quickly. I have horrible luck with people’s parents walking in on my shared intimate moments. Once, within five minutes of meeting a girl I asked her if she wanted to make out. Her breath tasted like vodka. Art has a major effect on everyone’s life, it has taken its toll on mine and continues to. When I was 18 I desperately wanted change and drove from Chicago to Los Angeles in 24 hours. I tried living on my own there for two months and concluded that I’m way too lazy to grow up. Currently I still live with my parents in a town where people all over Illinois go to, just to ride rollercoasters. In that very town I deliver pizzas to people too lazy to pick it up themselves. I’m majoring in Communications/Journalism and minor in Photojournalism.

1) Can you tell us something about you?
As a child I hated having my picture taken and thought my mom was silly for wasting so much time taking photographs. Now I’ve inherited and even intensified the obsession of capturing moments in our lives.

2) Where do you live and work now? 
Gurnee, IL. People venture to this town to ride the roller coasters, I deliver pizzas to hungry homes here.

3) How long have you been a photographer?
Consistently for about three years, I grew interest in it pretty late. I got my first film SLR when I was 17 during my senior year in high school. But throughout my life I remember borrowing my mom’s point & shoot for capturing things I thought was picture worthy.

4) How did you get into photography?
Primarily because I was heavily into skateboarding my senior year and I wanted to take skate photos of my friend’s. We all still skate now, I’ve just widen my horizon a little bit concerning subject matter.

5) Where your inspiration comes from?
From other photographers I can name Patrick O’Dell and Ryan Schude off the top of my head. Their works have always managed to make me think to myself, “I need to get off my ass and do something… right now.” There are a lot of talented photographers that post on flickr and movies that are visually pleasing in the most subtle sense also really tickle my fancy.

6) What does it mean for you streetphotography?
Capturing moments of everyday life out in public and preserving them forever. It can be the most mundane subject or act but is glorified and showcases the beauty we seem to look past. At times, the subject will be an oddity of some sort or dramatic that it’s a no brainer you have to point your camera and shoot.

7) Can you tell us something about your portraits, what’s is important to focus for you?
Most were taken spontaneously, I can only think of two that involved a good dose of previsualization. A teacher that I really respected taught me that you should capture how the subject is naturally and not the way they wish to portray themselves. The “real” them so to speak. Usually I want the subject’s eyes in the photo, albeit them looking directly into the camera or somewhere else leading the viewer to search for the subject’s interest. Another thing that I look for, are subjects doing every day things that can be inadvertently so dramatic when captured correctly.

8.) What are your future works, do you have a special project?
I’ve been way too busy but soon enough a series titled Subtle in Suburbia and a photo essay documenting my trip to the Philippines this summer.

My name is Dario Cestaro, I’m 28 years old from Italy.
I was graffiti writer and painter. I like to rappresent human being as a small piece of a large gear and also like a unique being doing extraordinary things. I’m impressed by mass culture, tourists, people or things out of context, human behavior is unpredictable or the complete opposite.

Rio de Janeiro was the setting where Victor Rafael’s artistic career started. At the time, he worked on the integration of stage design, video and painting while studying architecture.

He later moved to the United States to complete Art Direction studies and after working in recognized advertising agencies as Creative Director, he decided to start Ad-diction, his own agency, in Puerto Rico where he know lives. His style is influenced by street photography, which represents the streets as a theater of human activity, where ordinary people become actors of a greater event called Life. In his most recent project, titled Come Inside, Victor Rafael gave the streets a quick rest and experimented with a new setting: the personal spaces of the people in the pictures. He captures the essence of specific individuals who let him come inside…into their private lives. Exhibitions of his work have been presented at museums, biennales and photography festivals in Puerto Rico, Canada and more recently in The Netherlands and Uzbekistan. Some of his work has been published in Shots, Photo Life and Photographer’s Forum, 2009 Best of Photography edition.
