A perfect picture for the Amercian photographer Jen Fairchild is : “One that makes you feel and think.” Her natural, pure and feminine images lend wings to our soul and imagination. To know a bit about the artist behind the work makes you grasp everything in a deeper way – so let me introduce you to Jen…

 

Hello Jen! Describe yourself with two sentences.

I’m the most mindfully active person I’ve ever met, and I can’t take life seriously.

What does photography mean to you?

It is a means to an end for me. It’s the only way I know how to express what’s going on inside.

Your images are very natural, pure and very feminine. How much of yourself is in your work?

All of myself! Lately I feel as though I’ve been coming into my own and developing a style that is true to me. It feels really good :)

What is the perfect picture for you?

One that makes you feel and think.

Are you self-taught or do you have any photography related education?

I took a course in high school but didn’t really get into photography until about 4 years ago. Since photography is more about a means to self discovery and less about a career and a degree, school has never really been on the radar for me.

Do you think it is important which camera to use – or with talent one can do great images no matter what equipment?

The hammer does not build the house! I think great images can be created with any medium.

Which question should I have asked you – and what would be the answer?

You should have asked why I took so bloody long to answer your questions, and the answer would be “I’m sorry”.

Where do you see yourself in a few years?

Happy as a freaking clam and continuing to figure out this life thing.

The most important thing in life is?

Love.
