MILKY HYDE | Episode #14 | Digital Creators Podcast

Unrestricted Creativity... It’s rare you find a creative with no formal photography training, someone who barely knows the settings of their camera and yet within 3 years of photography they have already developed their own unique photographic style and the ability to create loud, eye-catching and out there images that scream out of a two-dimensional-format. Milky Hyde is a Perth based creative photographer and artist. In this episode, we chat about how the context of her upbringing, being homeschooled, self-taught, having a processing disorder and surrounding herself with creative people has influenced her out-of-the-box thinking and freedom to express herself through photography in an unhindered and unrestricted way. Milky doesn’t follow trends, she barely looks at other photographers works, and couldn’t care less about the latest camera gear. Her creative process comes from in the moment observation, diving into mediums without judgement, collaboration and play. Full Episode is out now on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts.
