We interviewed @Bartcelestino , the force behind our new campaigns for @childe_co and @childewilde , and received the most poignant, creative and poetic response that was an absolute pleasure for us to publish. Thank you Bart.
CE: How did you become a fashion photographer?
BC: I wouldn't even regard myself as such. I’m more a conduit for ideas to be realised. I rarely look through the camera anymore, it drives my clients crazy and as anyone who knows me knows, I rarely shoot anything in focus. I’m looking for the feeling in an image, the gravity of the moment we’re creating. That's why I use manual cameras and avoid any kind of automation in the focus. I guess everything and that's how I try to find something beyond what I’ve trained my eyes to do. I don't use assistants or digital wranglers, I hate large crews and I try to be as naive as possible, and appreciate that your making something great happen with amazing people.
More of this interview to come.
