“Photography allows me to remain available to life”: Arielle Bobb Willis on the power of image making

Photographer Arielle Bobb Willis shares how her journey with depression led her into photography – a practice that has allowed her to stay present “when depression wants to keep me thinking about the past or the future”, she says. The image maker took the Nicer Tuesdays LA crowd through her creative process, revealing how she has devoted her use of the lens to paying attention, staying curious and allowing herself to be moved by the world around her. Arielle speaks to how this approach has led her to shoot editorials for Vogue, capture figures like Lady Gaga and Billie Eilish and release her debut monograph: Keep the Kid Alive.
