Interview with the Lovely Marija Dimeski

Marija is a prominent and aspiring photographer her dream-like photos, grasp the eye. She has a sharp sense of fashion which kindles her astounding work; she has made a name for herself in the industry. We bonded over our obsession of fashion! I always take advantage when I begin talking to someone who is an avid fashionista, it makes me so effervescent!

FD: How long have you been into photography?

MD: I started taking pictures when I was 14, when I got a little digital camera and I got my DSLR when I was 16. And I just taught myself pretty much and I just played around with it. I guess from there I developed my own style.

FD: How did you get involved?

MD:  I joined flickr on the Internet and was looking up others people pictures and trying to see what I liked.  I was mostly drawn towards fashion. And I met my friend Natalie who is also a fashion photographer and she really inspired a lot of what I wanted to do. And from her I meet other people too who are also in photography.

FD: What type of subjects do you like to shoot?

MD: Portraits, for sure!

FD: Do you prefer digital or film photography?

MD: Digital! 

FD: Can you describe some of your favorite pieces?

MD: My first photo-shoot, I ever did that was actually set up, and people helped me with it , its probably my favorite one. It's the one I have gotten a lot of awards for. But I still love all of the other things I've done. 

FD: I've heard you've had work in Vogue Italia, how did that come about and how did you feel about it?

MD: Well its not in Vogue already. But Vogue Italia has something called PhotoVogue and you can submit your pictures through it. They have to go through this process and they can get confirmed. Their agency is called Art and Commerce, for young, emerging artists and mine got admitted to it. Now I have a portfolio with them and I just have to keep adding my photos to it. And it can be licensed through Art and Commerce.

FD: Have you shown your work anywhere else?

MD: It's been in a couple of galleries and its in an online gallery now, its in Paris called L'affiche Moderne 

FD: Can you purchase them?

MD: Yes, I've sold four prints.

FD: Is there anything your currently working on?

MD: I'm trying to get and start developing my photo-shoots more so they have more meanings behind them. So I'm trying to work with that and find more people who would want to model for me. I have a photo shoot coming up where I want to do something with the snow with really light colored dresses 

FD: Where do you see photography taking you?

MD: I wanna go into film so I think my help with photography now has helped me develop my style. If I was going to go into film I would have a good background instead of cinematography ( which is the imaging effects of how you take pictures). Ultimately I do want to go into film.

FD: Describe your style.

MD: Its pretty dreamlike, it has kinda of a morbidness behind it, I think. It involves my sister who's younger and I think the theme with younger children and more developed ideas is darker.

 

FD: How does your style influence your pictures?

MD: I think it makes it more recognizable if someone was to look at it I think a lot of my pictures  flow together because its more of a constant theme with similarity, woven amongst them.

FD: Can you describe your style in fashion?

MD: I love grunge. I love the 90s, early 70s too. But I also like stuff from the 1800s old dresses. I love fashion so much.

If you have came this far, please take the time to view more of her lovely meaningful work!
