I've been enjoying the photographs of Lena Modigh for awhile, so I took a little time to interview the woman behind the striking images.
What are your inspirations?
Travels. Interior magazines. Gardens. Beaches. The Ocean. Other photographers like are: Ingar Krauss, Nan Goldin, Mary Ellen Mark, Francesca Woodman, Diane Arbus, Patti Smith, Horst Diekgerdes, Johan Sandberg, Lina Scheynius, etc. It really varies; I find new photographers all the time.
What are your favorite books and movies?
Some of my favourite books are: A prayer for Owen Meany by John Irving, The Map of Love by Ahdaf Soueif, Divisadero by Michael Ondaatje and Even Cowgirls Get the Blues by Tom Robbins.
Movies: As White as in Snow, Strictly Ballroom, Lilja 4-ever, Sex and Lucia, Everything is Illuminated, Hair, The Big Blue, Control.....the list is long.
Do you often have a concept behind your shoots?
Sometimes I have a concept, or story as a guideline, but it usually changes during the day of shooting...
What is one thing you love about photography?
I love that you can capture a feeling or a motion, at one specific moment and it's there forever.
