S.o :Thank you very much for letting me interview you Esmee!
But tell us a bit about yourself ,

Esmee:
Hello everybody my name is Esmee I’m 19 years going to 20
I’m a thirdclass student at sintlucas I started with swd ( 3d) but I didn’t like it so I tried graphic design but it still wasn’t quite the thing I loved to do and now I really have found my passion and that’s Photography !

S.o: how does a normal day look like for you?

Esmee:
At eight o’clock my alarm goes off and I always snooze it three times before I get up
Every day I go to school at 8:55 in the morning and than I just follow my schedule

Monday: studio

Tuesday: normal classes

Wednesday: editing your own movie or photos

Thursday: we have filming

Friday : you can go where ever you want to take pictures

I usually spend my weekend with family or soccer or work of course !

S.o: what is it that makes the art of photos so special for you ?

Esmee:
I find it very interesting that you can tell a story through a few photos
And I like to have an another view at our daily stuff and I even catch myself sometimes that looking different to stuff is becoming normal to me , I watch like I’m about to take a photo.

S.o: how would you define yourself as an photographer?

Esmee: very curious and i like a challenge

S.o: Which person influenced you the most to start photographing?

Esmee:
This is a very difficult question there are so many good photographers out there but i like elsza jo very much because she is different than others and joost vandebrug is awesome !

S.o: How would you describe your feelings when you are about to take a picture ?

Esmee: focused , i don’t want to take failed photos even though that’s not always possible and of course it depends on in which situation I’m in at that time.

S.o: are there any things you would really want to do a part from what your doing now?

Esmee:
Yes of course ! i would really like to have my own studio and in 2013 I’m going to Indonesia with my parents and sisters en I would like to make an reportage photography of them and for the future I guess I will have to wait and see what happens.

S.o: Have you experimented with other mediums (analog polariod etc)?

Esmee:
I still ejoy working with analog and I worked with polariod but unfortanally I ran out of film I recently bought a digital SLR and if I don’t want to carry a heavy camera I can take my small analog

S.o: As an young artist what can we expect from you in the future ?

Esmee: haha, i hope you guys will see my photos in big magazines !

S.o: Are there any (upcoming) expositions with your photos?

Esmee: Yes! At the famous Dutch design week in Eindhoven there will be an exposition of me and my photography class!!

S.o: Is there any possibility to buy you photos?

Esmee: i actually never thought of it but lets just say Not yet....

S.o: Last but not least, do you have any advice for these upcoming young artists?

Esmee:
Never back down and don’t be afraid!!
