Following her travels from festival to festival to beach to beach, Whitney’s Instagram and accompanying blog is one favourites to go back to. As such, we were delighted to chat with Whitney about her own creative endeavours and what it takes to make it in 2017.
Hey Whitney, thanks for chatting. Firstly, introduce yourself! How old are you, where are you based and what exactly do you do?
Hello! I'm 20 going on 21 in July, I’m based in Melbourne! I'm a creative based freelance artist, hard to explain but I love creating content for other people to indulge in and collaborating with brands.
Your blog captures a life many would want to lead; filled with travel, fun and festivals. What led to you creating the site?
It all started after I got back from a trip, I was feeling super super inspired and I wanted somewhere to stay active, creative, productive and connected but also my brain was going to burst if I didn't find somewhere to lay all my thoughts down. Worked in my favour well because now it's my job!
What is required of an artist to make a living in 2017?
I think you have to be willing to step out of your comfort zone and box that you're in. Being original is a huge key as people love seeing new talent and something they haven't seen before!
Who or what has inspired your work?
Cheesey but my friends and the way they're all so open minded and adventures, they work so hard to do what they love and it's so eye opening.
Do you have a particular camera setup...
