Learn more about Lyzz’s joint venture work for Tell Me I'm Pretty and how she balances time between passions, in our conversation below.
What is your favorite type of art to create?
We LOVE creating unique lifestyle photography that follows the journey of one woman (whose face is hidden by a lampshade) doing ordinary things, from the then in the now, and making them look fabulous!
What are the most important elements when creating?
It's very important to capture the playfulness of the woman with the lampshade (aka Her). We are careful not to overwhelm her environment with too many colors and textures. It's about finding the right balance of elements and choosing specifically what we want to share in each photograph.
Where do you draw your inspiration from?
We are inspired by the art expressed in vintage fashion and storytelling. We are amused by all the little details that provoke one to say tell me I’m pretty!
How do you balance your time between your passions?
We both have full time jobs and own our own businesses outside of TMIP. It's important that we never forget that this is a passion and not a job. If we don't have time for it, we don't force it. We just revisit it another day.
