200 interview
Ana Nieto
What is your name and where do you live?
My name is Ana Nieto. I’m from originally from
Spain. I have been living between Manhattan
and Frankfurt for the last 5 years and I live in
London at the moment.
What would be your ideal project?
Probally a good Art Gallery opening its door
to me and telling me: “Here, all yours. Fill our
walls with whatever you want to. No limits,
no restrictions.” It’s not likely to happen soon
though...
What advice would you offer someone starting
out?
Experiment a lot while you study.
Follow your ideas and try to finish the projects
you start.
Be informed: go to galleries, museums, look at
magazines and books.
Show your work to as many people of possible
and get critiques.Remember that not everyone
will like or understand what you are doing.
Don’t take it personal. You just have to find
your public.
How old are you?
I’m 27.
What is your favourite childhood memory?
All my pets. I’m very lucky because I grew
up in the city, but in a big house, so we could
have all kind of animals: several dogs and cats,
hamsters, goldfishes, birds, rabbits, a couple
of hens, a duck, a chameleon... My friends
thought it was a mad-house...ha ha.
What is your occupation?
I’m a photographer and also work for a book
publishing company, editing and making
layouts.
What are your ambitions for the future?
This year I’ll move to Barcelona. I will try to
move into the Fashion Photography, as well as
continuing with my personal projects.
I also want to design some clothes. I’m a
vegetarian and it’s really difficult to find non-
leather shoes/belts/bags that don’t look like
from 40 years ago...
And the most important, I’ll try to quit smoking,
maybe....
How did you get started creatively?
When I was a child I was always painting and
constructing things and making collages.
After finishing high school I tried several art
related courses and also a “visual arts and
communication” course, since I was still a
little bit scared of computers but wanted to
have more options to work with. While doing it I
realized that Photography kept all my attention,
so I studied a BA/ Fine Art-Photography.
What equipment and software do you use?
Nikon cameras and scanners, Epson scanners
and printers, Macintosh computers.
I find Photoshop and Quark X-Press the most
useful programs.
Could you describe your working method?
For my personal work I always carry a camera
or videocamera with me and photographed
everything that catch my attention.
I work mainly in color using digital images,
regular SLR and disposable cameras, computer
colorized black and white negatives, videos,
polaroids and vintage family prints, among
others. Some of the images are snapshots
while others are heavily staged and retouched.
The way I feel determines which method I use,
and that decision defines the way I perceive
my surroundings. I like to use my instinct. It’s a
matter of spontaneity and intuitive thinking.
What inspires you?
The little things in life; those small details
that escape to the eyes if you don’t pay close
attention.
Is there anything else you would like to say or
add?
Thank you to all the open minded people out
there.
Do you ever suffer from creative blocks, if so
how do you get through them?
Sure I do. I have no secret formula to get
through them though... I guess the best is to
look at them as a reflection time and trying to
remember what was your initial goal. Also keep
yourself busy trying new things during a while.
What are you working on at the moment?
I’m compilating snapshots about my past. And
also working on a project about Souvenirs/
Memories.
Favourite music?
It used to be gothic music. I didn’t listen to it
since a couple of years but It was the main
soundtrack to my adolescence.

Favourite film?
