First thing you did this morning? Fed my cat, made tea, simultaneously. Put some pop music in headphones. This was at 4:30 am due to some jet-lag.

Favourite breakfast food? Avocado, English Breakfast Tea.
An album/mix that calms your nervous system? Joni Mitchell Blue, actually it breaks my heart so then I'd say Phillip Glass.

Favourite form of movement/exercise? Dance or Pilates.
One thing you'd like to incorporate into your day/week that you're currently yet to? More pilates.
Nighttime rituals? Oh boy, none really. Fall asleep too early. I absolutely always have to wash my face and brush my teeth or I cant sleep properly.
I feel most creatively fulfilled when... I have enough time to get into the zone. When film comes back and there's a few gems.
I'm currently working on...Two photo books.
This time last year, I wish I knew... How quickly your heart can be turned upside down. How much time it takes to layout books.
I'm grateful for... Love in all formats, my instinct, my soulmate of a cat, sunshine.
