Her interest in photography began when she joined the popular photo-sharing website Flickr. What started out as a mere hobby quickly progressed into a passion for fine art and fashion photography.<br /><br />Photography is the medium Valerie uses as a method of escapism. By applying a mythical, almost enigmatic aesthetic to her work, Valerie always strives to offer viewers an opportunity to stretch their imaginations and form their own stories from her photographs. She incorporates elements of both realism and surrealism into her work, thus creating a world filled with daydreams, nightmares, and everything in between.</span> <span style="font-size:85%;">(Taken from Valerie's website)<br /></span></div><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhJ7PsoF0B9ICEmKLYr6G_W1K1bABUpcQkgJuJnEuCqaEnGJB9nVy7kpK6P3YP9QksR0SG7r2on5cNo08llkEfgcGkvuQKoZN64HyYPSv3_vjdv5QgZF5ltSICMJgz0Bo6QL3AOwmaVJU/s1600/valerie+chiang+6.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhJ7PsoF0B9ICEmKLYr6G_W1K1bABUpcQkgJuJnEuCqaEnGJB9nVy7kpK6P3YP9QksR0SG7r2on5cNo08llkEfgcGkvuQKoZN64HyYPSv3_vjdv5QgZF5ltSICMJgz0Bo6QL3AOwmaVJU/s576/valerie+chiang+6.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5542845067113342722" border="0" /></a><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;" ><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102); line-height: 20px; font-weight: bold;"><span lang="is"><br />Which of your own photographs is your favourite? </span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center; font-family: trebuchet ms;font-family:trebuchet ms;"> <span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);font-size:85%;" ><span style="line-height: 20px;">This one (above)<br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center; font-family: trebuchet ms;"> </div><div style="text-align: center; font-family: trebuchet ms;font-family:trebuchet ms;"><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);font-size:85%;" ><span style="line-height: 20px;">It was completely unplanned, and I can't figure out how I edited it anymore.

Maggie's photographs seem to have been taken decades ago, the grainy effect gained through the antique cameras that she uses being her signature style.

I often don't like a lot of my photos, but I never delete them because I know that sooner or later, I will look at them with a whole different perspective and they will grow on me. If I have to be specific (as specific as I can), I'd have to the my favourite photographs are the ones deeply personal to me, like those of my boyfriend, or my family, or friends, or a place special to me, and my time with all of them. I love looking at these photos and reliving emotions and the memories that come with them. I think that's the reason I take photos.</span></span><br /><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGqjQK8gpUTRuW27BCYZm_FN6wao9dyMaEgtxYky835sObcdCBwU20Wf-m07ubIGq0u3atUXtXUyEKXOTxN918lwEtxkrru-WI3R9gO6fa7BAI8A99zzbBZarvKzfit4n25_Dq-7akGUY/s1600-h/juliette+steen+pic.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGqjQK8gpUTRuW27BCYZm_FN6wao9dyMaEgtxYky835sObcdCBwU20Wf-m07ubIGq0u3atUXtXUyEKXOTxN918lwEtxkrru-WI3R9gO6fa7BAI8A99zzbBZarvKzfit4n25_Dq-7akGUY/s576/juliette+steen+pic.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5451862956869302242" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:85%;"><br /></span><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;" ><span style="font-weight: bold;">What did you want to be when you grew up?</span> I don't really know.

So when I was 15 and was able to choose electives for school, I was immediately drawn to phototgraphy and art.
