I don’t really have a favourite piece, I like them all equally. Each
photograph has a story behind it and a special personal meaning. It’s all about
the moment I take the photo. Places and moods heavily influence my work, so I’m
attached to each image in a way, because they trigger a memory.

What is your favorite way to relax?
Taking photographs is a great way for me to relax. It’s about involving
myself with surroundings and appreciating the world around me. I love going for
walks with camera in hand and hoping something will just catch my eye. When I
get home I brew up a pot of tea, fire up the computer and let myself get a bit
lost with tinkering in my editing program. I prefer to work in the quiet of
night when the world is sleeping and I can float in the magic atmosphere.
I also love reading books, watching cool TV series and chatting with my grounded husband, hehe!

The pieces in your shop are quite thought provoking, given their surreal
qualities. What made you choose to create surreal photographs, rather than
classic?
I like to escape from reality as much as I can, so I think the surrealism in
my work reflects this trend. I like to portray things the way I see it, not
necessarily the way others would see it. I guess disconnecting a bit from my
subjects and letting my imagination get busy, allows me to conjure up a vision
of what I’d maybe like to see instead of what is actually there. Most
importantly I want to bring the beauty out of even the most commonplace object.
Hi Aga, I am really interested in the story behind this photo, if you would
like to share it with us:
by AgaFarrell
I was working on a project with a few of my girl-friends to explore woman’s
identification with nature. “World in my Eyes” and “Orchid Fairy” were inspired
by this. The aim of our group chat was to look into woman’s connection to
Mother Nature. We ended up talking for hours on the subject when we met and I
could probably go on and on about this topic!
We tried to focus on woman’s special connection to the Earth and how our bodies health is in harmony with the environment. We also talked about some book’s that centered on how the moon and it’s phases impact our life spiritually and how modern culture pushes us to focus on youth, beauty and career’s. Our conclusion was that we have let ourselves go a bit out of sync with our roots and have lost some balance, so I thought I’d try to illustrate a visual reconnection to nature.

How much photography is influencing your life?
Photography influences my life in a number of ways. The biggest impact is
something I touched on earlier when I said that I search for beauty in things
maybe other’ s wouldn’t notice. Even if I don’t have my camera with me, I still
‘shoot’ with the naked eye and try to bank it in my memory. I try to picture
everything I have seen at the end of the day, so the idea of nostalgia or
memories are an influence on my everyday life. I think stopping to look through
a camera has taught me to stop rushing about and take my time to appreciate
things a bit more.
