FOREWORDIt has been an honour to be a part of the Papercut team this month, reviewing and selecting your submissions - not only because I have been inspired by the overwhelming response to the issue, but because the process has been all too familiar. Papercut Magazine commissioned me to shoot my first story for them over two years ago, and ever since then, I’ve watched each issue grow in talent and evolve within the photography industry itself.

Since my first steps into the industry as a conceptual photographer, I have always believed in telling stories through my imagery; from my early emotive self-portraits, to later homages to the old masters in art and photography. The reason for storytelling is simple - to evoke a thought or feeling from the viewer that will leave a lasting impression. Over the past few years, I have noticed the most memorable images that are shared and re-printed in photography history are ones which evoke something from within us - whether it is the eyes in a portrait, a hint of an object or item within an image, a narrative that flows through a series of prints, or a fine-art image that is strong enough to stand alone on a exhibition wall. A relatable story will always inspire the viewer.

Going through the theme selections for this particular issue I was reminded of a situation I was in a few years ago when I first decided to venture into fashion photography; I lost a piece of myself as an artist, because I was so focused on capturing ‘the product’ and to please the client and not ‘the idea’. In order for me to find my inspiration again, I decided to reach back into my archives and remind myself of why I found photography so alluring in the first place - an outlet to share my creative ideas. My solution was simple - to shoot as much personal work (if not more) as I did commissioned work, in order to be the best I could be. After all, alongside your clientele, personal work is most often the tipping point to a client booking you for the next job.

This months’ issue ‘Tall Tales’ has given each and every one of you an opportunity to share your story, whether exaggerated, slightly unbelievable, spontaneous or strangely surreal. So sit back, grab yourself a cup of tea and enjoy the visionary book that this months’ issue has become!

Lara Jade.
