Inspiration: The Beautiful Jennifer Starr

I strongly believe that artistic people have the best/unique styled home and fashion sense. =) Jennifer Starr is my case in point. She has a great approach for fashion, photography and home decor. She styles all of her models, and her photography is beautiful you should go hire her if you’re in the west coast!! www.jenstarrphoto.com As a photographer, I am drawn to other photographers and their work for inspiration. I love when photographers have their own strong sense of style and niche. I am able to distinguish Jens photography just by the aura of her imagery. Her models are always lit softly and elegant and she uses shadows beautifully. This lovely lady shared some images and was kind enough to do an interview with me, lets get to know more about the beautiful woman behind the lens and take a peak into her home and her photography ;)

My favourite room is her dining room. I love the dining room seats and the lion heads mounted on the wall.

When I was a child I wanted to be…understood

The moment that changed me for ever..as a photographer…shooting my first beauty shot.

My style icon….Kate Moss

My favorite item of clothing…a pair of black leather boots with an extremely high heel that I got in “the village” in 98′ still have not found their equal.

I wish I’d never worn…flip flops but were on la…lol

You wouldn’t know it but I’m very good at… cooking elaborate dinners

You may not know it but I’m no good at…balancing a ball on my nose

All my money goes on…my elegant abode

If I have time to myself…I work or work out..usually both

I drive/ride…a silver cruiser

My house/flat is…pretty rad

My most valuable possession is…my doggie “galaxina”

A book that changed me…“The profit” Kahlil Gibran

My favorite work of art…the human being

The last album I bought/downloaded… some vintage sonic youth

The shop I can’t walk past…I’m all about home decor boutiques

In ten years time, I hope to be…still happy and interested.

My greatest regret…not getting that red coat with the big collar..lol

My secret indulgent…birthday cake

My life in seven words…love, work, beauty, fashion, music, friend, and food

My cameras……I’m a Canon girl

Let’s talk about photographic equipment: Many photographers say that equipment honestly doesn’t matter but what do you think? I agree…it’s in the eye of the shooter, the quality of the model, the energy of the shoot itself… and if your lucky all things simultaneously.

My favorite photographers……Mert and Marcus, Avedon, Sokolsky,

How did you get started in photography…My fiance’ gave me a digital camera …I have not put it down since.

What can you tell us about your style of photography…I’m into the eyes of my subjects if I can get the soul…I’m all good with it.

My muse…….when I shoot a model she is the most beautiful and important thing to me in that moment she is the muse and no one else enters my consciousness.

The ad campaign I want to shoot…ALEXANDER MCQUEEN WOULD BE FINE.

Any plans on making a coffee table book of your photography in the future….I don’t have that as a set plan but …you never know what the future holds
