These days, ex-model Poppy De Villeneuve\u2019s feels more comfortable behind the lens. No wonder, seeing as her dad\u2019s the photographer who discovered Twiggy. We talk to her about her new collaborative photography project, \u2018Dusk Until Dawn\u2019.<\/p>\n

Do you consider yourself a film director or a photographer?<\/strong><\/p>\n

These days I\u2019ve been mostly directing. Photography is a huge part of the way I get to that, I take pictures and they inform the work I\u2019m doing as a director. So I think both.<\/p>\n

Which do you prefer?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Photography has its own power in that it holds a moment in time. With film you can create a story in long format. It\u2019s like a photograph is a distilled story and a film is something that you get more time with it, you have more room to breathe with it as a viewer.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s the weirdest thing you\u2019ve ever photographed?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I spent a lot of time photographing inmates in Louisiana. I don\u2019t know if it was weird, but it was definitely complicated in that working out how you feel about these people is pretty complex.<\/p>\n

Weren\u2019t you intimidated?<\/strong><\/p>\n

They were pretty gracious with me. Maybe I was just lucky! I don\u2019t feel intimidated by the things that I can see. I feel intimidated by the things I can\u2019t see. With photography and film I find it less intimidating because I\u2019m connected to whatever the experience is.<\/p>\n
