An Interview With Yoann Lemoine
I recently interviewed filmmaker/director/photographer Yoann Lemoine. Prior to 2004 Yoann studied animation, illustration, and screen-printing. After illustrating children’s books he went on to direct television commercials and music videos. Below you can watch the music video to Moby’s new single “Mistake” from the album Wait For Me, directed by Yoann Lemoine. He lives in Paris and New York, directing films, animating, illustrating, printing, sculpting, knitting, and making collages. Yoann describes his work as follows: “I could say my creations are related to subjects such as childhood, absence, nostalgia, sexuality, fashion, symbolism, and of course that patchwork, that collision between different worlds and techniques, which is what I’m made from, I guess.”

She has worked with Imogen Heap, Mark Isham, The Dresden Dolls, Rasputina, DJ Shadow, and Paolo Nutini. Her self-produced album “One Cello x 16: Natoma” soared to #1 on the iTunes Classical charts and #2 on the Electronica charts.

Young Photographer Week: Andy McMaster
“Photography means that I can be myself! It means that I can not only make sense of all those ideas in my head but also be involved with fashion. I can create those images I see when I close my eyes! I can be different. I suppose I was never your normal child… always reading the fashion magazines over other childhood books, never playing in the park, and rather playing with my camera. I was hooked from a very young age! Then about 18 months ago my father paid a model to model for me. That’s when everything felt right! My love of fashion and photography became one! It was then and there that I knew what I wanted to do! Hopefully, one day it will mean that I can shoot for our major fashion icons!”

“Photography for me is a work of art. It is when you freeze a moment and try to capture it with just one click. You are freezing a moment in time while time itself moves on and the moment disappears.” -Lyka Orhel
Young Photographer Week: Sarah Howe
“Photography to me is capturing the world through a lens as realistically as if it were through my own eyes. I strive to capture it how it is, and then adjust it to express what it means to me.” - Sarah Howe
