OMG, what if your Polaroid started endlessly spitting out a stream of Polaroids? It’d be like a real life Instagram.

JONATHAN CHERRY: What got you started with photography?

PAULA PIRE: I have always liked to take pictures even without having any idea on how to do it “correctly” but I got my own first camera really late. And when that happened I started to take pictures, then a friend of mine told me to made me a flickr account and that’s how all of this got started. Then from flickr I moved to see web pages of photographers, exhibitions.

JC: Any emerging artists inspiring you at the moment?

PP: I like Alison Scarpulla, Ellen Rogers, Yuli Sato, Aëla Labbé, Lina Scheynius, Katarina Smuraga, Olya Ivanova. Recently, I have been interested in photographers that do mostly medium format and interesting “social” projects with a classical taste in composition. Missy Prince makes you feel the beauty of Oregon. I have to mention some Spanish photographers work, because I think they have their own style, such as Salva López, Darío Martínez and Ana Cuba.

JC: What’s your current project all about?

PP: Right now I’m working on a project called Ud. no tiene la prioridad, it’s very personal. Maybe I just want to explain my relationship with my family through images. I’m working on this using medium format mostly (I’m new to this). And also I’m going to start something different from what I’m used to do, I usually take pictures of girls (my sister, my cousin, friends) because I like doing portraits in 35mm .But now I’m interested in doing something about landscape. We’ll see how it turns out

JC: Where are you currently living and how is it shaping you?

PP: I’m living in Oviedo (Asturias, in the north of Spain) where I also study. I guess it shapes me in the way I see how people live their lives, and if I have to be sincere, I don’t like how they do it. I like this place, it’s really beautiful, peaceful and all that stuff and lately there has been something of a increase in public interest in the arts, but it´s still relatively low.

JC: One piece of advice to recent photography graduates?

PP: As I’ve never offcially studied photography, it’s hard to say, but in my case I think seeing another photographers work has encouraged me in some ways, so that may be a good way to start. As in all disciplines, you hear a song and want to play it that well, you see a picture and want to draw it that well, and that spark of motivation to create is what gets you going.Then you start your first attempts and begin to find what you like to see and what you like to do: you have to enjoy what you´re doing, and try to do something which is important to you. To sum up, it’s a way to express yourself, that’s why you shouldn’t be influenced by trends or by the number of favourites a picture gets on flickr.

JC: Any big plans for 2012?

PP: I’d like to grow up in some technical aspects, but at the same time, some “material” ones. That is to say, I want to do new projects. I expect by the end of this winter I’ll have  completed a new project about hospital. I want to do something related to what I study, I study Medicine and that makes me see things that other people who go to hospital may see differently, and I don’t yet know how, but want to transmit it.

JC: Favourite tree?

PP: Red Maple, a variety called ‘October Glory’
