After featuring the radical and original photographic projects of Elle Muliarchyk, time came to ask her for an interview. Elle was discovered in New York by Patrick Demarchelier and started off as a model. She currently lives and creates in New York and received worldwide attention after her “Dressing Rooms” photo series was presented in the New York Times Magazine. Since then, she has been busy and today she shares her plans, inspirations and thoughts. Enjoy!
Hello Elle! It’s a great pleasure to have you in EyeCandies! What triggered your passion for photography? How and when did it all start?
Photography is more like a tool to me with which I document my current fetishes and experiences. I took my first picture with my first camera in a dressing room of a posh boutique, rehearsing for the first most important shoot of my life with Patrick Demarchelier. And I spent next 2 years taking guerrilla self portraits in dressing rooms wearing the most beautiful and expensive garments I’d never be able to afford. I created my alternative realities there using various backdrops and crazy props of enormous sizes and materials... The store security kicked me up upon discovery, or even called the Police... But my obsession of doing whatever it takes for the image... has begun!
