Artist Lynzi Judish has always loved clothing, “fashion is the most freeing form of photographic expression.” she says.
“everyone has to wear clothes.” Using her life to express specific stories and ideas, she tends to reflect her most intimate thoughts and emotions in her work. “Sometimes it’s my life life, other days it’s my fears, and a lot of times my work reflects my thoughts on women in society.”
Her body of work strongly supports stories of strong women female role models. “Sometimes I feel like the word feminist can be a dirty word.” she says, “my work at times may reflect men being objectified or even tortured, but they are not evil. They’re responding to the expectations of women.” The women in Lynzi’s work supports the independent women that reject the rolls of girls in little white gloves. Her work is provocative, yet demure. Her characters are aggressive and multi-faceted with attributes both feminine and masculine. I believe you will agree, her work has a statement and a power that exudes the power in that every woman is allowed to have in this lifetime.
We send our artist a series of questions and ask them to select the questions that best suit them and their body of work. Find out what Lynzi Judish is like and how she treats her work and creativity.
Do you plan the entire shoot concept, or have help?
I almost always plan the entire concept for a photo shoot unless it’s for a client. I like to write down all my ideas, and once one comes closer to a possibility (finding the right model, props, clothing, etc.) I go ahead with planning. I’m pretty particular about the details. Although, it would definitely be interesting to have someone else plan them. It would probably put me out of my comfort zone in a great way.
How do you take criticism? DO you take it well? How do you manage criticism? Why does it effect you good/negative?
I would love to say I take it well, but that would be a lie. I definitely put up a front like I am, but I’m a sensitive creature. I think a lot of artists are. Sometimes it will take me days, or even weeks to come around to a criticism and really
consider it. It’s always good in the end though. I’ve learned a lot from my peers.
Who would you like to shoot? Celebrities, model, designer? Why?
My dream shoot is Lily Cole in Alexander McQueen circa 2008 at Versailles with lots of peacocks. Lily Cole is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen, and Alexander McQueen was the most inspirational and creative designer I have ever known. I’ve thought about this shoot so many times. The entire shot list is forever engraved in my head.
What caused you to become a photographer/fashion photographer/artist/Designer? Why?
It took me so many years of my life to figure out what I wanted to do. I tried so many majors in college. Everything from musical theater to international relations. I even went to school for photography for a half year and decided it wasn’t for me. It wasn’t until I was watching an episode of America’s Next Top model with a friend that it dawned on me. We had a pretend photoshoot after the show, and it made me wonder why on earth I wasn’t (still) in photography school. I enrolled shortly after and never looked back. I think the first time around I just had no idea what I wanted to shoot.
Do you prefer to shoot men, women models? Why is your preference for one and not the other?
I definitely prefer to photograph women. Not that I don’t like photographing men, but women are more in my comfort zone. I know how the clothes should fall on them, and it’s a lot easier to pose women. You should see me try to pose a man. It’s a knee slapper.
Do you edit your own work? If so, explain why.
I do indeed. It’s really out of necessity. I can’t afford to hire a retoucher. I sure would if I could! Perhaps someday, but for now post-production is an important part of my job. I really would love to not do it someday though. Photography is what I love, not Photoshop.

Fatima Nasir is a freelance makeup artist and fashion stylist based in Lahore, Pakistan and London, UK.
Born in Dammam, Saudi Arabia, Fatima was inter-ested in makeup and fashion at a very early age. Since moving to Pakistan at the age of 15, she has pursued her passion and has honed her skills as a makeup artist for 12+ years. During this time Fati-ma has collaborated with photographers and artists around the world, and has been internationally pub-lished.
Besides being a makeup artist, Fatima also works as a fashion designer, hair stylist and creative director for commercial and editorial projects.
Fatima’s creative direction and her mastery of mul-tiple disciplines helps her turn glamorous artistic vi-sions into equally glamorous reality.
Fatima’s focus is on telling the most authentic and emotionally engaging story possible. Her secret weapon is research – thanks to a mindbogglingly extensive resource library of photos, magazine clip-pings, editorials and videos, Fatima can create origi-nal looks for every project that she works on.
A central narrative accompanies each project – be it a bridal makeup assignment or a commercial prod-uct shoot – and this narrative underpins the creative look and emotional appeal of her work.
As a professional makeup artist and fashion design-er, Fatima is an expert in taking the unique story and background of each client and converting it into a memorable visual experience.
Beyond the narrative, Fatima’s multi-disciplined ap-proach to her work means that she’s able to con-stantly experiment and try new ideas. Nothing is ‘safe’, and her audacious story-telling ‘voice’ is en-capsulated perfectly in her work.
What is your style? Describe it.
It’s a tough one to start with, but that’s a good thing!
I like story-telling and I love trying new things, so I’ve tried to combine the two aspects in all the projects that I do. There is a strong narrative element in my work, and you are guaranteed to see fresh ideas and a unique perspective on traditional themes.
