For some reason this stuck with me all this time, and I still think about it from time to time. ![]() ![]() One of my fondest memories of my youth, is an old women who saw me drawing in a class when I was in second grade, and she told me I was going to become a artist. I knew this was something I wanted to do, and it gave me a clear direction. ![]() I would spend time with her and she would show me painters, architects, dancers, and photographers from all over the world. I knew it from a very early age when listening to my aunt who was trying to become an artist herself and was attending college at the time. Thank you so much! It is an honour! So, how did it all begin? How did you become interested in photography? Hi Conner, thank you for joining us for an interview. Many of Conner’s photos can be seen represented by Vogue, and among other exciting things he came 5th Place in “Digital Manipulation” by Kenmore Camera, and was featured in many magazines and online articles such as Lilac City Fashion, Midnight Muse, Essere Magazine, Atlas Magazine, F-Stoppers and many more. In our interview with Conner Allen, a conceptual portrait photographer based out of the Inland Northwest, USA, he shares his knowledge learned through trial and error in photography, through his experiences shooting weddings, portraiture, and fashion. ![]() My Goal is to work in Conceptual editorial through a Magazine, or Organization on the West Coast, along with working on personal projects with Local Designers, and other Artists.” – Conner Allen I am inspired by the natural wonder of the world, and even though my work is by no means landscape work, I want the viewer to see the natural beauty of this world as a focal point, not necessarily the main point, but merely part of the world we are all a part of. I want them to see a depth in themselves that they couldn’t see beforehand, and to go back into a moment in their life when they felt alive, even though the photograph is a imaginary possession of a past that is unreal. “My work is really just a representation of myself in other people, and when I photograph them, I want the photo to be multi-dimensional.
