<\/p>\n

Can you share how you discovered your passion for photography?<\/b><\/p>\n

\n


<\/b>\u200bUntil I started shooting, everything I knew about an image came from flipping through films, illustrations & video games. I loved stories; from the objects and people in them to the process of visual world building. I\u2019ve always been a creative. Photography simply became one of my outlets.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

How does your creative process differ when working with a high-profile brand like Rhianna, Moncler or Gucci compared to personal projects?<\/b><\/p>\n

\n


<\/b>I prefer the motions to be authentic and natural- I stay back and let the sun meet the moment. At the end of the day, I am a collector of memories.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Can you tell us about a particularly memorable project you\u2019ve worked on and what made it special?<\/b><\/p>\n

\n


<\/b>Recently I was shooting a series of artifacts, & \u2013<\/span>objets trouv\u00e9s- <\/span><\/i>around my family\u2019s home that my father had collected over the years, these things always surrounded my natural environment. From when I was a kid, I have always had an emotional response to design aesthetics and history. I was carrying pieces to my set, one piece being a Jerusalem Oil Pot which dated back to the Late Bronze age. (1200-1150 B.C.) which when it was in my care, held a particularly strong presence and weight about it. This was a very special experience.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

What inspired you to create your ALTA web3 NFT Collection and what sets it apart from other NFT collections in the market?<\/b><\/p>\n

\n


<\/b>Coming from a background in competitive skiing \u2013The series came together quite naturally. Sierra had already broken the mold as a skier in the fashion industry. We just enjoyed our days shooting in the snow at one of the most Iconic Mountains in the U.S.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

How has the shift to digital photography and NFTs affected the photography industry?<\/b><\/p>\n

\n


<\/b>\u200b\u200bWhether you\u2019re shooting film or digital, the truth is still the same- good is still good and bad is still bad. The NFT marketplace for photography has been an interesting disruption to step into. It still feels very new and a bit like the wild west. Navigating the space and seeing where the puzzle pieces will align is a part of the joy in the journey when the accolades come.<\/span>\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Can you walk us through the process of creating and selling an NFT through Exchange.art?<\/b><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n

Create the series, upload selects, have a drink- roll the dice.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

What role do you see NFTs playing in the future of the art world?<\/b><\/p>\n

\n


<\/b>Creative freedom and further potential for undiscovered & established artists, apart from some other traditional systems \u2013 how much? I\u2019m not sure\u2026All I know is that it is a vast amount.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Can you share any advice for aspiring photographers looking to break into the industry and start selling their work?<\/b><\/p>\n

\n


<\/b>Wear a disguise and make for the escape.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

What can we expect to see next from you in terms of photography and NFTs?<\/b><\/p>\n

\n


<\/b>Something quite original.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Why did you choose Exchange.art as a platform for selling your NFTs?<\/b><\/p>\n

\n

<\/b>
<\/b>Good people and a great marketplace \u2013 the credentials were there and the understanding of what this space could become was there. I have a respect for their curation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

What do you like about it?<\/b><\/p>\n

\n


<\/b>Having Carte Blanche.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
