Truth be told, I don’t look for photographs on Etsy much. Every once in a while, I will find some that strike a cord with me but never really find myself searching them out. I came across the photography of Elle Moss and I fell instantly in love! Her photographs are so evocative and surreal, classic and mysterious. I knew this talented artist had a story to tell so I was very excited to feature here on my blog!

1) Give us 3 words that would best describe you and/or your personality, with a brief explanation of why each of these words describe you.

dreamy- as in big daydreamer. I’ve lived a lot inside my head since i was a child. I love books and quiet and well, drifting off!

perfectionist- my worst quality. It leads me to be a serious over-achiever or total slack off (whats the use if it wont turn out perfect). I’ve been actively trying to rid myself of it, but it’s ever so hard.

bohemian or gypsy is the next word that comes to mind. Im definitely not your typical 30 something suburban mom. Im a bit of a nonconformist and free spirit, or at least I like to think so!

2) What kinds of crafts do you sell?

I sell photographs. Dreamy, nostalgic, feminine photographs that are heavily “worked” until I’m satisfied with them.

3) How long have you been making your crafts?

I started taking photography seriously about a year ago and have been in school for almost as long.

4) What inspires you?

Music, movies, old cinema, old postcards, Remedios Varo, Frida Kahlo, Marilyn Monroe, Peter Sellers, Cindy Sherman, The Beatles, Loretta Lux, Dolly Parton, Bette Davis, my grandmothers, fashion old and new… I could go on and on!

5) Where can we all find you and your work (etsy shop, blog, website, etc)?

6) Stand on your soapbox and tell us anything else you feel we should know about you or what you believe.

I love what I do and am a firm believer in doing what you love no matter what. I plan on making my own path and doing things my way for, like, ever.

I will definitely be buying some prints from Elle in the near future. Definitely my kind of photography! This one here is probably my favorite:

I just love the colors in it!

Hope you all enjoyed and be sure to check her out!!
