today is about {photography}. i must say that i particularly love this edition… because in this edition i feature those that i admire the most in photography… my very own field too. of course, if we were discussing talent… please, do not notice me, because i am still learning, my camera is not what i could consider an excellent one, though she does everything she can to help me, and i would love to have more time to learn more & more…
so, this edition is about those i admire the most… and this lady caught my attention on those first days exploring {flickr}. she is talented. she is creative. she draws her own world. she paints the colours she wants. she has several roles… please meet… lady {elle moss}.
1. where did elle moss come from?
when i first stated taking self portraits, i wanted a bit of anonymity to protect myself from freaks and also for creative reasons…it was creatively freeing working under an alter ego. i took the letter of my first name, lisa (elle) and a name from my family tree (moss). tts memorable and pretty, and while i don’t regret using it, now i find it somewhat limiting artistically.

2. where do you get your inspiration?
mostly from old movies, music, tv shows and old photographs. mexican surrealist painter remedios varo has always been inspiring to me, artistically. i love the idea of traveling through art and making the world your own.

3. what is the best part of your day?
early morning when its just me in my bathrobe and a cup of hot green tea. i get up around 7am and enjoy an hour or two by myself.
4. what does elle moss means for you?
elle moss truly was life changing for me. i was a stay at home mom who had failed miserably at every attempt of something artistic. i had no degree, no job and spent my days homeschooling my son. it was rewarding, but something was missing. photography saved me in so many ways and continues to do so. there is nothing as rewarding as finding something creative that you enjoy and you are good at and going at it with everything you’ve got.
