Interview with Olivia Pizano
Hello! I'm Olivia!I was born in Miami, Florida and moved to NY when I was 18 years old. Growing up in a tropical environment I spent all of my time outside either painting or helping my Mom in our garden. Constantly I found myself around flowers and had a tendency to dial in on the details of nature's goodies. My love of photography stemmed from both an awareness of peace around me and the halting of being present with it at the start of my middle school education.
Interview with Helene Suarino
From this body of work it allowed me to make my first book and inspire me to start making more books for the rest of my work.

Interview with Shane Singh
Hi, my name is Shane. I've been doing photography for about 4 years. I started out mainly as a street photographer with a Nikon FM2 and mainly Black and White film. While doing street photography I really fell in love with Photography and New York. Street Photography really helped me grow, it forced me to get out of the house and to sometimes approach strangers and just be comfortable in and around crowds of people. I also learned a lot about photography this way too. Learning how to time a shot, how to balance light, moving around to find the right composition and even when I might want to use a specific lens. Now I blend what I learned on the street with my knowledge of studio lighting to make work that is a lot more produced and closer to my more specific visions.
Interview with Agostina Cerullo
Agostina Cerullo is a nomad photographer originally from Argentina, who spends her time between Spain, London
and New York.
Blending nostalgia with warmth and a touch of drama, Agostina’s photographic style showcases the interplay between light and shadow, in a cinematic way, capturing the essence of moments filled with personal relations, closeness, and silence, as well as the complexities of growth, youth, love and grief.
Intuition and improvisation are at the chore of her work, where the essence of the moment takes center stage. It’s in these unscripted, unguarded moments that she finds her inspiration, allowing her to create images that resonate with authenticity.
Within her repertoire, Agostina is particularly drawn to the world of portraiture, crafting powerful and evocative compositions. Her candid photography is a testament to her sense of perspective and composition, capturing the natural beauty of fleeting moments.
Interview with Mya Hernandez
My name is Mya Hernandez, a black and white digital and film photographer currently attending the School of Visual Arts. My focus has recently been on my family; documenting our relationship with each other, understanding our family dynamics, and how it personally affects me. I incorporate my own journal prompts, archival photographs, audio, and vhs tapes. I have previously created a photo diary using drawings, flowers, paint, and other creative materials discussing my personal mental obstacles. Creating bodies of work about myself and my family has helped me practice vulnerability and using the power of photography to say what I verbally can’t express.
Interview with Eleonore Piret
My name is Eleonore Piret, I am a French and Moroccan multi-media artist studying photography in London. I'm interested in abstraction, the unseen and ways of exploring the transcendent through photography, video and other media. I have always drawn, painted and created. My multi-nationality has always given me many perspectives on my work and the world. I read a lot of philosophy to nourish my reflection on the abstract.
