One often thinks of inspiration as an epiphany, a cartoon lightning bolt that hits an artist, who then transforms this idea into a sharable gem. While that may indeed happen, inspiration genuinely comes as part of a working process, a process that can be arduous and often difficult to describe. When speaking with food and advertising photographer Chelsea Kyle, one gets the sense that her inspiration comes from a source deep within her character and is nourished by hard work and a start-from-scratch ethic.
I don’t normally put much stock in judging artists by their upbringing, but when we visited Kyle in her home, which doubles as a testing ground for her food photography, she shared that she was raised by her grandmother on a small farm in Connecticut, and I felt that this has a strong impact on her do-it-yourself approach, as well as her ambition to continue to learn, to grow, and to succeed.
