Interview with photographer Fares Micue:
FG: If you should tell someone the story of your life, from where would you start?
Fares Micue: I would start when I moved to London at the age of 23, it was my first time staying by myself without my mum being around. That was the time where I started to think about my priorities and the things I wanted to achieve in life. Spending time by yourself is the only way to get to know your true self. By the time I decided to go back home I was already more mature and with a clearer vision of who I wanted to be.
FG: What inspired you to begin photography?
Fares Micue: I have always been a very sensitive person. My original dream was to be an actress because I loved the way they would transmit and portray different feelings and moods and with photography I did find the same feeling of sharing feelings and stories but with the perk of being in full control of everything.
FG: What is your most memorable photograph?
Fares Micue: It is difficult to choose just one but I would say Golden girl because, after creating that image, I finally felt that I had my own style. It was when I started to notice the pattern of saturated colors, botanical elements, balloons and simple backgrounds. I felt very happy.
FG: What is the story behind it?
Fares Micue: More than the story behind the picture, what make this image memorable for me is the feeling of accomplishment I felt after having created it. And I think that without knowing, just guided by intuition I created an image that reflects the feeling of being lucky and powerful, from which the confident posture and golden color.
FG: What kind of messages or emotions are you trying to evoke with your photographs?
Fares Micue: I am a highly positive person and this positively reflects in most of my images despite the melancholic feeling in some of them. I wish that anybody who view my images will feel powerful and positive, I want them to feel that they can achieve everything the set themselves to and that we can overcome everything. I want them to look inside themselves and get to know their souls in order to achieve happiness.
FG: Do you have a dream yet to come true? If so, which one?
Fares Micue: I am a dreamer so I have plenty of dreams to achieve yet, one of them is to do a solo exhibition because I would love to meet all the people who appreciate my art and be able to share a moment with them.
FG: What are your future projects? What are you working on at the moment?
Fares Micue: At the moments my plans are to keep creating, exploring and learning.
