KATE MACH

Who are you?

I'm a photographer but actually I'm creating all ideas and even styling (I actually often even sew the clothes) and hair & make up I do by myself too (..if it's not some job for hairdresser or whatever or some other production work, but I'm always trying to push myself to do it cause I like to work with every shooting like with whole project). I did school of art so I like to work with my hands (cause only shooting feels for me just like half work if someone else would prepair it for me).

What are you inspired by?

Inspiration..well.. I'm traveling a lot, but mostly the last piece is going from the feeling I have from each model I shoot.

What was the last movie you watched?

The last movie... hard to say... I was quite busy last period... but mostly I prefer to watch scifi movies.. especialy the ones which give you that strange feeling after they finish... I don't know... maybe I like Lars Von Tiers movies, Daren Aronowsky work... but even more comercial stuff.. depends. :)

What was the last book you read?

books... I love books from Harumi Murakami.

Do you have any role model?

I don't really have role model... but for sure the work I see around has some feedback on me... I like really simple raw photos (but for these unfortunally I don't have much time cause I like to shoot them in analog which I like to develop myself... I have a Pentacon Six) or some super crazy stuff like the work of David LaChapelle (I like if I can see the story in the picture and he is a master in it).

What is your next creative project?

Well... I made some wings to separatelly attach to arm and forearm. I wanted to shoot on roof top from where I can see the old prague town... cause now I'm for one month in my home town... those photos I wanna do more raw... I don't wanna get to that "angel look" .. but as I know myself... it will finish in some more less fashion... it everytime does :D
