Elle:
How did you start out in photography? Do you remember your first camera?

Roxana Enache:
I started to play in photography some years ago, in high school, mostly people portraits. After that I finished architecture university and I started with fashion and conceptual photography. I remember that my first camera was a mini sony.



Elle:
Would you give a brief walk through your work flow?

Roxana Enache:
My projects are always good organized before the shoot. I organize the team, the concept, the location, all. After the shoot, I select final photos and edit them not too much, ’cause I’m not a fan of manipulating the photos.



Elle:
How do you pick your models? What kind of features should a model have to work with you?

Roxana Enache:
If the model is not already selected by the clients, I will always select a model that I have a connection with. This connection is about comunication, beauty, inspiration, proportion, something interesting for some concept that I what to obtain.



Elle:
How much time do you spend taking photos versus retouching photos?

Roxana Enache:
40 % taking photos versus 60% selecting and retouching photos.



Elle:
How has your shooting style and work ethic changed in time?

Roxana Enache:
When I started with fashion photos I’ve tried to finish and organise alone the projects and in time I realized that I need and I love the team. If you are a fashion photographer you will need specialized, passionate and communicative people on set. You just can’t do a beautiful fashion project without a team and I believe that I was not here if I did not worked with talented people.

What is you dream project?
