I have to say that “Makers” is a kind of project that I needed the most lately. Not only do I love taking portraits, but I’ve already met some amazingly inspiring art and craft people. And this is just a start. This satisfies my unending hunger for inspiration, new experiences and exchange of ideas. I used to always love visiting people’s homes, and imagine what daily life they lead according to their cosmetics bottles exposition in the bathroom or posters on their walls. I have to admit I even unintentionally stare at people’s windows in the evening when walking home- sometimes I get a little glimpse of a family at a dinner table or a couple watching telly on a sofa, sometimes there’s pets, men frozen in doubt looking inside the fridge, sometimes all I can see is strange decisions in furniture choice or a whole wall covered in bad taste paintings. They all trigger my imagination- I like to picture how these anonymous people live. And “Makers”allows me to visit one of the most intimate spaces one can have- their studio or workshop. Today I wend to doors open day at the Briggait, WASPS. I met a few very talented people, admired their work and made contacts for some portrait shooting.
