Interview: Jaime Ibarra (Photographer)
“I am a Professional Portrait/Art Photographer, but I am also known to do Editorial, Fashion, Commercial and Advertising work.
My work is widely published here on Earth, as well as…well, that’s the only planet I am aware of, so far. There’s still time yet, though.
My ‘style’ is the visual amalgamation of over 15 years in Graphic Design, 25 years of composing & performing music, many years spent traveling around the planet, a lifetime of over-romanticizing things, insomnia, an inexplicable ability to hear what colours would sound like if they could sing (Synaesthesia, anyone?), an unfaltering fascination with humans, and an obsessive need to create.
It all adds up. Somehow.” Continue Reading →
Young Artist Showcase: Lucia Moretti (23, Switzerland)
Meet Lucia Moretti, a 23 year-old aspiring photographer from Switzerland. I’d like to welcome her to Nonsense Society. She has a very natural quality to her photography that really grabs me and drags me in. I’m especially impressed because she does a lot of fashion photography, which usually seems forced, thick, and commercial to me. Lucia’s photos are different, however. I dare you to disagree.

Young Photographer Series: Jessica Klingelfuss (23)
“Photography is the purest augmentation of reality. I enjoy creating these strange and surreal dreamscapes, and placing quirky characters in them. I think fashion is as much an art form as any traditional medium like painting or sculpture, and lends itself well to being photographed and not just worn. You could say I am a visual hedonist – my eyes lust for pure beauty constantly, imagery that leaves me breathless, colours so rich my pupils dilate, and photography gives me a chance to fulfill this.”
Young Photographer Series: BJ Pascual (21)
“When I was young, whenever I’d look at photos in magazines I would always imagine what was happening outside of the frame; what the photographer was thinking, how long the model has been posing, or what the weather was outside the studio. Now whenever I shoot it still amazes me that I’m that photographer shooting. And I love it.” - BJ Pascual
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!”

Young Photographer Week: Emily Tebbetts
“Photography has become my definition. It has infested every sense and emotion that I have. There is nothing that I love that I do not want to capture with a camera, whether it be physical, emotional, or conceptual … or something that doesn’t quite exist at all. Taking photos is such a rush for me– but its one that I never come down from. I want to be unique, and I want to make people feel when they look at my photos. My favorite characteristic of a photo is that little piece of soul that is completely indescribable but twists your organs and gives you a glimpse at some non-existent wisdom, if only for a fleeting second. I feel as though I have found a passion that I will stay faithful to for my whole life, something that will only complement every joy and sorrow that I go through. In a way, it makes the good times better and the bad times more beautiful. Photography is the air I breathe, the thoughts in my head, and the feeling on my fingertips. I will never, ever give that up.” - Emily Tebbetts
