Q  &  a   with             Stephanie MacKenzie When did you become a photographer? I became a photographer after realizing in school how much I enjoyed it & was advised by the head Art teacher from the Art fundamental program at Sheridan College to look into going this direction. What genre of photography are you most interested in? I would not say I lean towards any specific genre of photography because I enjoy all areas. You can learn a lot by learning about several areas in any craft. What type of camera do you shoot with? I shoot with different types of camera depending on the project at hand. What would you like to be doing in 5 years from now? In 5 years I would like to be hired for projects based on my Artistic style for galleries, music industry & for celebrity portraits. How did growing up in Toronto influence you as a artist? Growing up in Toronto did not in fact influence me as an Artist because Art has been alway put down in value as a profession. My Mother & Sister and great friends are the people who influenced me the most to follow my dreams. What's the best and worst thing about living in Paris? The best thing about living in Paris is the appreciation for the Arts & I can't leave out the food and wine ;) The worst thing about living in Paris is that you don't get the same amount for your money and the taxes are high. What is your favorite arrondissement in Paris? My Fav arrondissment in Paris is 7 because it is a quiet area of Paris and has great restaurants. Plane or Train? Plane or Train, whatever takes me to do my Photography :) Favorite time of day? My fav time of day is at the time just before sunset, great lighting for photos. Favorite color? My fav colour is Red. Favorite Country to visit? There is not a specific fav country to visit because all cultures and countries have beauty. What advice can you offer to other aspiring photographers? The advice to young aspiring photographers would be to find what is unique about your talent because of how much competition is out in our industry. Do you have a favorite gallery in Paris? My fav Gallery in Paris is the Musee d'Orsay. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________ International Award winning photographer, Stephanie A.
