q: who are you?
I’m Elena. I was born in 1986 and grew up in Tokyo. At the moment, I live in Madrid but at the same time I’m in all the places I have already been.
q: what can you see out of your window at the moment?
I feel irresistible to contemplating my life behind windows, through a crystal, just like with my camera. Life seems more beautiful when I look through my camera.
q: your favourite thing about growing up in the 90s?
I would have preferred living in the 1700s in the Caribbean and being a pirate.
q: you say your camera is your lover. what else do you love?
My camera is my life mate, it comes along with me in each journey.
I like snow and hot chocolates in winter, and road trips and sunflowers in summer. I like freethinkers all year.
q: any webpage you'd like to plug?
I admire Elena Kali’s underwater photography:
Her flickr.
Le photographe français Janis Ganga's portfolio is grungy on the outside, sweet on the inside.
q: who are you?
I'm Janis, I'm from a small town in south of France and I'm a student so except my psychology degree my main occupations are getting drunk and taking photos.
q: which languages can you speak? have you ever had a dream in a language other than your native tongue?
Well french is my native language but i'm "fluent" in english as I was living in London for a bit and after a few month of not talking french at all, except on the phone with my parents, I was actually dreaming and thinking in english. It was pretty weird to be honest!
q: what album have you got on repeat at the moment?
The Nuggets compilation vol.II ! It's a compilation of the best garage rock bands from the 60's. There's like 120 songs but i think i like them all.
q: if you were an animal, what would you be?
Definitely a cat, i'm a cat person !
q: any websites you want to plug?
