Anya Jasbär is a 22 year old photographer/student living in Venice, Italy. I’ve been an admirer of her calm, cool photographs for awhile and it was wonderful to get the chance to ask her a few questions about them.How long have you been creating photographs?

I’ve always taken picture of my family, since I was very young. Not professionally, but I really liked it. My grandfather was a passionate about photography; he has taken a lot of great pictures of his family, especially of my grandmother.
I officially started seriously about two years ago.

What inspires you and your photographs?

I’m really curious to discover more about human experience, and to understand psychological processes. My photographs help me to know more about feelings, relationships, family, quiet moment in every day life. Step by step, I’m becoming more able to remember my emotions and feelings. Photography also gives me the opportunity to be conscious of myself and of what is happening in my life.

Are you solely an artist, or do you have another occupation?

I’m concluding my Bachelor studies, so I’m still a student that pretends to be an artist. I don’t know what will happen next. Although jobs or studies, yes, the occupation of my heart is photography.

Who is the reoccurring boy in many of your images?

He’s Daniel Augschöll. He’s a good photographer. You can see his work on our website welovehotwaffles.com. It’s not easy for me to talk about us.

What is your favorite part of taking pictures?

I really love taking portraits. I’m fascinated of capturing that moment, that specific moment when people start to reveal their identity, their own personality.

You can see more of Anya’s work on her Flickr or on her and Daniel Augschöll’s shared site, welovehotwaffles.com.
