I loved photography and everybody said it was a crazy thing to do because in those days nobody made it into the film business. I mean, unless you were related to somebody there was no way in.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I always saw photography as a way to get to film.
I used to do a lot of casual photography - back in the olden times when one used film - but it had fallen by the wayside over the years.
I really got into filmmaking through photography.
I always thought of photography as a naughty thing to do - that was one of my favorite things about it, and when I first did it, I felt very perverse.
It wasn't until I realised that I could actually take nice photographs that I started to become passionate about it. I then got a few jobs working for magazines in London, and I would get terribly excited and intense about doing a job and taking photographs and looking through the lens to capture something amazing.
I went into photography because it seemed like the perfect vehicle for commenting on the madness of today's existence.
I did not enter the industry to create a certain image. People happened to see me as the friend/sister/daughter next door. I like that association very much. It's close to what I am in real life. As for films, I just focus on the job.
Photography is a hobby born out of my time in undergrad at USC. It is more of a pleasurable hobby, a stress reliever. I don't consider it a professional endeavor like acting or directing.
Photography has become a small world with so many jealous people. You do a story and then a lot of people try to do the same thing.
All my film ideas and subjects have come from photography.
