1. What made you decide to be a photographer and were your family and friends supportive of the decision?
My dad - he'd got into it. I'd always been creative but I never quite found out how. One day I picked up his camera for fun and 2 years down the line i've barely put it down.
2. Have you always loved photography or did you discover your passion by accident?
Accidental definitely.
3. What sort of shoots do you prefer?
I prefer fashion and portrait shoots as you can move the person around, include props, get different looks and you also meet alot of people.
4. What is your dream photoshoot?
I'd love to do a fashion shoot in Tokyo, Japan. There's something about the vibrance that i'd just love to capture, i'd also love to work alongside Lara Jade that would be fantastic.
5. When you're a photographer are the models difficult or easy to deal with? Have you had any interesting shoots with problem models?
I'd say mostly models can be good however you do get the fair few that behave a bit diva like. I can't say which shoot because then the model would know who i was speaking about. You can get the probelm that models think you don't need paying when actually we pick the location, the clothing and we edit.
6. Do you treat your photography as more of a hobby or a career?
Both at the moment, its more of a hobby, however my business HJK Imagery now has 148 fans and i've had a few paying clients.
7. Do you prefer natural or photoshop editing? Do you find photoshop and other photo editing software easy to use?
I love photoshop but i think you need your setting to be good. Its like make-up, you wouldn't put blusher on without foundation first thats the same as finding a location you wouldn't just pick anywhere.
8. What do you believe is your biggest achievement with your photography at the moment?
Just hearing people saying lovely things and it means alot when i have a fair few people interested in my casting calls, that means a lot to me.
9. What is most important to you: your career, family, or friends?
I think we all need a mixture of all 3, but i shall say your friends. Your friends are the ones who will be there for you, you can talk to your friends about things you can't always speak to your parents about.
10. Which model or designer's clothes would you most like to shoot and why?
I'd love to shoot Mischa Barton she's so beautiful and has a great connection with the camera.
This is a picture of my friend Jessamy Lowe and I at Baroque in London celebrating our friend Katy's 18th birthday! The dress I am wearing is from the Andy Warhol foundation for Pepe Jeans and is totally covered in multi-coloured Campbell soup cans. I also remember that night I was wearing killer bright pink platforms that made my feet hurt soooooo much!
