“In my head, I’m trying to gravitate towards people before projects,” says photographer Ally Wei to the Phoblographer in an interview. “I think about what would make my career successful, and I think I would be happy if I got to work with people I love and am close to.” Ally reiterates a really important idea to photographers: the one centered around community — like VSCO. She wants to make something that she and her friend Tiffany are really passionate about. In fact, while Ally thinks most photographers have a dream gig, she just wants a solid set of people to make artwork. Of course, she knows that’s not a realistic goal to making a living; but that doesn’t mean that she doesn’t still rely on the community.
