few weeks ago we started filming short interviews with our favorite creatives. Our network has no shortage of charismatic, inspiring and wildly talented people. Delving into their stories through our Snapchat interviews is our way of sharing this community with our audience.

Meet Celia Spenard-ko, aka @ceeesk.

What are you working on lately?

Professionally, Dose Juice, Frank and Oak working on project ‘Finding Football’.

What is Finding Football?

It’s an ode to the essence, the soul of football. Without all the signings and big brands. Like what it used to be like back in the day.

Who has inspired you recently?

British documentary photographer Martin Parr. He’s very good, look him up.

What do you like about him?

Mostly the subject matter and how he approaches it, middle class foolish people.

Your account has one of our favorite combinations of incredible visuals with really clever wording, how do you continue to push that forward?

Pretty much, everyday I put two hours aside at night to read magazines, search the web, take a walk and that’s basically it. I look at the image, take the main element and build a sentence out of it, whether that element is apple and maybe someone will find that funny.

Everybody has creativity inside of them, how do you feel somebody could draw on that and become more creative?

One of my professors used to say you’re only as good as your references and I find there is some truth to that I mean you study em for a reason they’re awesome, their work is great. If you keep an eye out for these gems, then build on your findings you can come up with some pretty creative stuff.

What advice would you give to somebody who’s starting out and thinks they may not have the right tools or equipment to break into the field?

I think that’s a terrible excuse, because I mean today half the stuff is like hacks that I use. Most of the backgrounds I use for dose and colored backgrounds are framing mats that you use when you frame photos they’re super cheap but they look like seamlessness.

Is there a moment where a project that you worked on gave you the confidence to say, I could pursue this as a professional career?

I took a photo with this really old compact and I hid the flash. I was taking photos of keys and the flash went through my fingers. I saw the final product and I thought, hey these kinda look like hanging fish, like goldfish and I just liked that, I liked that they look like something different.

I love that story, it’s completely unintentional and the mistake actually ended up making the image more beautiful.

And that’s how I feel like you should always approach your work, you know, things might not always be or turn out as you want them too but that can be good.

I appreciate you taking the time to share your insight with everybody.
