I’m Louise but I much prefer Lo, I live in North London born and raised. I love it here, the city will always be a great part of who I am.
DEFINE YOURSELF IN 5 WORDS.
Illusive/passionate/aggressive/chilled/chameleon
WHAT FILM BEST DESCRIBES YOU AND WHY?
I don’t think I’m at that age where I’ve done enough to let a film define me.
I do watch fight club and Kids a hell of a lot though, that’s only because the themes presented in both films I enjoy a lot, but I don’t think I’d ever let a film describe/define me as a person.
WHATS YOUR ART HUSTLE?
I don’t really have one, just wake up and get into it. I used to wait for idea’s, but I feel best when I’m constantly planning and doing the work. When art is involved it’s all about trial and error, you can work on a project for months ,maybe even years and nothing good will come from it. Just keep on working hard. Passion and focus are important aspects in my work without those two disciplines you may as well not bother.
I KNOW YOUR LOVE MUSIC. WHAT TYPE OF MUSIC DO YOU LISTEN TO AND HOW DOES IT INSPIRE YOUR WORK?
I love music more than anything, I’d love to give making music a good go when I finish education. I listen to everything, one day its reggae/jungle the next its hip-hop or hardcore. I change mood very easily so listening to music doesn’t inspire me ,but more so helps me to stay productive. ‘I like to work to the beat’
WHY DID YOU DECIDE THAT YOU WANTED TO KNOW MORE ABOUT THE TECHNICAL ASPECT OF PHOTOGRAPHY??
It’s not so much the technical aspect of photography that I’m really interested in although I know it helps enormously if you want to become a professional photographer. For me at this moment in time its mainly just a hobby and a way for me to document the things that mean the most to me ,but to also express what I may not be able to through words/illustration. I believe in shooting anything and everything that I may find interesting.
WHO INSPIRES YOUR WORK AS A PHOTOGRAPHER ?
Food mainly because I love to eat and the majority of us take food for granted when if you think about it, it’s the thing that keeps us going. People of course that goes without saying really. But mostly girls in particular, I don’t know why girls just hold so much more seduction. The female form in general is much more visually appealing to look at, well for me it is. (haha.)
I KNOW YOUR INTO FASHION TOO.. WHERE AND HOW DO U GET YOUR INSPIRATION FROM?
I’m in love with the styling aspect of clothes. Anyone can buy a piece of Chanel or dolce and gabbana, but it’s the way someone wears it that makes all the difference. I mainly get my inspiration from magazines which I collect and style blogs, I’m totally hyping Knightcat.blogspot right now! I mainly look to my male friends I know, its weird because I’m a chick but I think comfort is an important part of looking food too. I also look to the streets, your always guaranteed many stylish people in the city.
HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN MAKING ART?
Since day!
WHERE CAN WE SEE MORE OF YOUR WORK?
Come and jam at my apartment and have a bevy or two. I’m working on an online portfolio at the moment. Hopefully it will be up and running in a couple of months.
AND LASTLY GIMME A LONG BIO
( life, love, work, inspiration etc)
I don’t really know how much to spill? My life ,love and inspiration are all combined and mixed into one I guess. I have a love for many things not just people of course. Inspiration for me comes with living life to the fullest, and wherever I take myself I’m bound to find something different that will inspire me. I am always looking for something new, I don’t believe in following others, although you if would have asked me this same question a year ago my answer would have probably sounded really mundane and cliché. I just do what I want, anything that doesn’t feel right for me I won’t do it. But I like to think I’m loyal and genuine when it comes to family and friends, they are what keep me strong and happy. Like Kanye west would say, everything I’m not makes me everything I am, and I whole heartedly believe in that. Don’t do something for the gain of someone else’s acceptance, it wont grant you eternal happiness. Do what you want because you want to, not because someone else does.
