Eleanor Hardwick is a 16 year-old, Oxford based photographer, best known for her photography for Jack Wills. I love the British country feel to her work. Hope you like it too! Here is quick interview with her from http://www.andrewsgibson.com/blog/2008/12/an-interview-with-teenage-photographer-eleanor-hardwick/  

How would you describe your photographic vision? What kind of feel do you try and create in your photos?

My photos are dreamscapes (infact, ‘dreamscapes’ is the title of my exhibition in Bristol early next year!) I like to play with what I have to create something out of reality. I love using natural light and soft peachy tones to create something serene, with a hint of the sixties in it.

Name three photographers you like and why. Who inspires you?

Tim Walker is my favourite photographer, I feel like sometimes we are on the same wavelength with our ideas (however obviously his execution is so much more incredible!). I love his use of oversized props, and the childlike, misty quality to his images. Another photographer I admire is Denise Grünstein, for her quietly beautiful style. I also adore the work of Elene Usdin, a Parisian Photographer who shares my passion for the unison of the surreal and fashion.

Your work is very creative. Where do you get your ideas from?

I’ve no idea where my ideas originate from, however things that I am often inspired by are the countryside near to my home, unusual props and literature.
