Los Angeles-based photographer Devyn Galindo's commanding creative vision has landed her collaborations all over the world — one we were lucky enough to team up with on capturing a roster of inspiring women for our Dickies X Urban Outfitters collaboration. In between shots, we flipped the lens on Devyn to talk with Devyn about inspiration, honest stories, and the very real need for diverse perspectives in art. Interview by Dana Covit What did you want to be when you were growing up? I wanted to be a musician. I wanted to play music, and my mom was like, “Pssh! You can’t do that.” So, I decided to do photography, and I found my second love. And, you know what, I don’t regret it, because I’m still able to be super creative and that’s all I wanted to do at the end of the day—to make things. What women inspire you? Right now, I’m super influenced by Sandra Cisneros, Frida, (obviously—see: my unibrow!), educators and activists in our community now, as well as in the past. I’m super inspired by women who get involved, by women who make things happen. What advice would you give to someone trying to get into your field? If you’re trying to get into photography, go get a Canon AE1 and shoot a ton of film. Tell your story, tell it from your perspective. Take pictures of everything, take pictures of anything. Try to come at it from a conscious, thoughtful place, because photography is a really powerful tool that often gets misused. You know, we just have to remember that you’re controlling the perspective of something. So whatever story you’re telling, tell it with truth and honesty. What are you proud of? I’m proud to say that I’m finishing my first book and I’m having my first gallery show. That’s super exciting to me. It’s going to be in LA on November 18th! What challenges do you/have you faced in your field? How did you overcome them? To be honest, even just getting to photography school was a challenge. You know, I’m up to my ears in student debt, but I had a dream and I wanted to pursue it, and even though it’s a super male-dominated field, I just tried to push through to get my ideas heard, to make space for those things… I think it’s important we all push forward and make space for our ideas so that we are not just being fed someone else’s perspective. I really think there’s room for more. What’s the best part about what you do? Meeting new people and traveling. I get to be super creative and collaborative with people from around the world, and that was basically always my goal. I didn’t want to be behind a desk. I wanted to be out in the world. Now I have the chance to do that; it’s really cool. How do you stay inspired/motivated every day? Sometimes I’ll just delete all my social media to get in the zone and stay hyper-focused. I’ll look at a lot of photo books. I’ll visit different galleries that inspire me. I seek out inspiration, because it’s not just going to come to you. You have to seek it out. What do you hope for women in the future? I hope that I see more women in photography, specifically more women of color in photography. You know, I think right now we see a very white-male-dominated point of view within the industry and the way women are perceived. There’s so much room for more varied and diverse voices. Photography has been such a huge tool for me personally. I think that everyone should try it, because your voice is important. What advice would you give to young girls? Just be really aware of all of these images that the world is going to feed you. Know that they’re going to tell you how you should act, how you should dress, what type of makeup you should wear, how your hair should look… Forget all of that. Be yourself. Try and do what’s true to you. Go against the grain. Question everything that you see, because, you know, a lot of it is being marketed to you. You have the power to be whoever you want to be, and you’re perfect the way you are. Don’t let anybody tell you otherwise.
