Having always been fascinated by photography, Melissa Gibbs, the photographer for Twoosie’s suede collection, gives an exclusive interview on her favourite photographer, the biggest highlight of her career and more! When did you know you wanted to go into photography? I’ve always been curious when it comes to cameras. I had my first film camera when I was 7 and I never put it down and I started to take photography seriously when I was 15/16. As a photographer, what is the biggest challenge you have faced so far?I think the biggest challenge I’ve faced is people taking advantage or feeling like I’m not being taken seriously. Who is your favourite photographer and why? My favourite photographer is Viktor Vauthier. His work is so beautiful and sexy and he captures women beautifully on film and I love that! What has been the biggest highlight of your career so far? Biggest highlight so far is getting to work with brands! I haven’t worked with too many but the ones I have worked with have been amazing and I’ve met amazing people through it. Where do you look to for inspiration? I look for inspiration everywhere! Mainly through music? I don’t know if that’s weird or not haha but I’ll listen to a song and I get ideas and I quickly jot them down on paper and then look through images I think are a good representation of what I’m imagining. Finally, do you have any tips for aspiring photographers? Hmm, don’t let people tell you you’re not good enough! Or what you’re doing isn’t a real job. If you’re happy with what you’re doing and your work is the best you can do then who’s to tell you otherwise!
