Sun and Kim are Korean wedding dolls that were given to Seattle-based creative director Yasmine Rafii by a neighbor and they mostly hang out in her studio. One morning, she decided to take them out for some play.

I had been thinking about the relationship of objects to their environment and wanted to explore how scale and context affect our perception things. As I went about shooting, I realized that Kim and Sun were not unlike your typical tourists who photograph themselves wherever they go. So I composed the shots thinking of them going home after their travels, sharing photos and telling stories to family and friends.

I think of myself as style agnostic. It is hard to limit myself when there are so many tantalizing visual and psychological avenues to explore. The freedom and spontaneity of street and travel photography are inspiring both to look at and to shoot. My tendency is towards vivid color and exploring different atmospheres or moods. What motivates me the most is light and pushing the photo towards the painterly. I like exploring the edge where a photographic image breaks down and becomes abstract or impressionist.

Take risks, never stop exploring and learn to love your mistakes. They just might save your ass. My humble camera is a Canon G1X and I use Photoshop to munch pixels.
