 welcome to issue #10 of ACHE magazine.
it’s moving into autumn again. here in new york, we went from ninety degrees to fifty in the blink
of an eye, and i must say that i miss the warmer weather. but with the start of a new season
comes the promise of cozy sweaters and hot tea, and we finally have crisp fall days to shake
us out of our summer haze. this issue, we bring you some of the most talented young people
we’ve seen yet, with contributors from poland to the uk to los angeles. they’re doing better
than ever before, with some just out of their teens, and i can’t help but think that the times
have changed. today, petra collins is curating artwork, olivia bee is holding solo exhibitions, and
tavi gevinson continues on her world takeover. it’s the age of the young and irreverent female,
and we’d like to think that we’ve featured a few of our own. welcome to a brave new world!

as always, ACHE is looking for submissions from artists, designers, photographers, writers,
bloggers, musicians, and more. we’re open to adding writers, photographers, and editors to
our staff, so let us see samples of your work!

DAVID CORTES
 david is a twenty-three-year-old photographer who
lives on the side of a hill in northeast los angeles.
he has two cats and two dogs he loves dearly, and he
travels every few months to keep his creative juices
flowing. we fell in love with the colorful abandon that
characterizes his work... it’s all about the pop!

ACHE Magazine: Tell us about yourself. How did you AM: Name a few of your favorite photographers. How
get into photography? have they inspired you?

David Cortes: My brother and I took a trip up the
coast, and he let me take photos while we were
cruising. I was instantly hooked. I had played around
with my parents’ cameras when I was a kid, but I don’t
think that I had ever used an SLR until that point. I
literally remember the exact moment when I thought
to myself that I wanted to start taking photos.
AM: What do you aim to convey through your work?
Why do you keep shooting?
DC: Juergen Teller, Guy Bourdin, Viviane Sassen,
and Ben Morris, to name a few of the more notable
photographers. I also have so many talented friends
who are constantly making beautiful work. The
creative community here in Los Angeles (specifically
the northeast part of LA) is really making some noise
right now. Everyone is pushing forward really hard
and progressing in a big way.
AM: How does fashion play into your work?

DC: I want to make photos that are exciting, relevant,
and unique. I keep shooting because I’m completely
and totally obsessed with it. I really could not see
myself being happy doing anything else.
AM: When did you start, and how has your
photography changed throughout the years?
DC: Much of the work that I make is based around
fashion, so it’s really important in my creative process.
I work closely with the stylists with whom I shoot to
make sure that each piece of clothing is a perfect fit
for the concept that I have in mind.
AM: In five words, what’s your style?

DC: I started taking photography seriously during
my sophomore year in high school. My old work was
abstract and mostly based in fine art. Although my
work is different now than it was back then, I feel like
there has always been this underlying direction or
aesthetic to my work.
DC: Colorful, graphic, energetic, balanced, and
precise.
AM: What is your top moment as a photographer?
Where do you hope to take your work in the next
year?

AM: Who are you as a person and as a photographer? DC: I’ll let you know when I’ve reached it. I want to
keep shooting and making work that is interesting
DC: I don’t think that I have an exact answer for and thought-provoking.
either of those questions, and that’s alright with me. I
am constantly changing personally and creatively. I
think if someone were to look at my work, they would
be able to come to their own conclusion about the
kind of photographer that I am and the kind of work
that I make.

Laura
Allard-
Fleischl
 meet laura. currently a twenty-three-year-old
photographer in london, she was born and raised
in new zealand. she ditched the mountains and
coastlines for concrete skylines last year, moving
to london after a road trip through the states.
she now works full-time shooting for companies
like nasty gal and publications like elle uk.
ACHE Magazine: Tell us about yourself. How did you
get into photography?
Laura Allard-Fleischl: I was given my first camera
at age three. Big, blue, and plastic. I guess I just never
stopped.
AM: What do you aim to convey through your work?
Why do you keep shooting?
LAF: I shoot because I enjoy it, and it’s something
that, at this point, I can imagine getting joy from for
a long time—it’s a pretty limitless path in terms of
potential for growth and development, so it’s hard
to tire of it. What’s conveyed differs from shoot to
shoot. However, I always try to maintain a personable
element with my photography. I want everyone
involved to feel like their contribution shines in the
final product. I find it’s often more satisfying to let a
shoot evolve with the day as opposed to having every
inch measured and pre-planned, and I like for it to be
a collaborative process, not just the stagnant vision of
an individual.
AM: When did you start, and how has your
photography changed throughout the years?
LAF: I started as a toddler, and I feel like I shoot a
higher usability ratio nowadays!
AM: Who are you as a person and as a photographer?
LAF: Let me get back to you on that one; I’m still
working it out myself.
AM: Name a few of your favorite photographers. How
have they inspired you?
LAF: I don’t really have any particular favorites;
I admire the work of a lot of photographers but
generally find my inspiration comes from places other
than photographs.
AM: How does fashion play into your work?
LAF: The majority of work for which I’m
commissioned is fashion-based—lookbooks,
campaigns, editorials. I’ve been shooting some music
work, too, recently, which is cool, and I find there
are a lot of parallels between the fashion and music
worlds, so it’s easy to bounce between the both.
AM: In five words, what’s your style?
LAF: Changes every day, bit weird.
AM: What is your top moment as a photographer?
Where do you hope to take your work in the next
year?
LAF: Hm, that’s tough! Every shoot I’ve ever done has
been a unique adventure, and it’s hard to put them all
side by side and pick one above the others. Salvation
Mountain was pretty spectacular, though, surrounded
by nothing but desert for miles. It’s a bit of a mad
place. I drove out with two models and spent the day
scrambling up and down this huge, psychedelically
colored, man-made shrine in about forty degrees
Celsius, full sun. We almost got into some trouble on
the way back to LA, as we technically should have had
a permit to shoot there (and the guys at the highway
checkpoint were pretty suspicious), but we talked our
way out of it.

 Kayla
varley
kayla’s one of our favorite la girls, a twenty-two-year-old california
native who lives and breathes photography. she started shooting
at the tender age of thirteen and attended the art college center of
design in 2010. her focuses are fashion and portraiture.

044
ACHE Magazine: Tell us about yourself. How did you
get into photography?
Kayla Varley: I got into photography when my father
bought me a really small camera for Christmas one
year. I think it had four megapixels. I remember
one moment in particular—it was kind of an, “Oh,
shit!” moment. I took a photo of a flower and just
got obsessed. I still am. I grew up in a really small
town where everyone just shrivels up and doesn’t do
much with their lives after high school, so I knew I
had to leave, and photography was my escape. I left
Bakersfield just shy of my eighteenth birthday and
never looked back.
AM: What do you aim to convey through your work?
Why do you keep shooting?
KV: I always try to find the human connection, the
emotion in all of it. When I first started shooting,
I always said I wanted people to feel me and
understand me because I was taking these really
introspective self-portraits, I still take them, but
now when I’m shooting, I really, really just want to
connect, to anyone. I always want to feel the other
person. I keep shooting because I have to do it. It’s
my heart and soul, and if I don’t, I feel empty inside.
I can’t not shoot; it’s what keeps me going when I’m
sad, and it’s what keeps me from going crazy most of
the time. Knowing I have my own escape—that’s what
gets me through the low points.
AM: When did you start, and how has your
photography changed throughout the years?
KV: I started shooting when I was twelve or thirteen...
it’s definitely a lot different. Back then, I was going
through a lot of angsty teenage feelings that I was
trying to express with my self-portraits. I’d say it
was much darker back then. My photos and my
perspective are a lot happier and lighter than when I
was a child. It’s now less about me and more about the
people with whom I interact.
AM: Who are you as a person and as a photographer?
KV: Right now, in my head space, Kayla as a
photographer and Kayla as a person are sometimes
blurred. But, for the most part, they are two different
people. When I have my camera in front of my face,
I’m looking through a fantasyland that I create in my
head. I know it’s not real, but I’d like to think it is,
when I’m dreaming. Kayla as a person is quiet and
reserved; she is extremely neurotic and anxious.
She loves to laugh. I think Kayla as a photographer is
much more animated than Kayla as a person.
AM: Name a few of your favorite photographers. How
have they inspired you?
KV: Off the top of my head, Nan Goldin, Juergen
Teller, Cass Bird, Hedi Slimane, Billy Kidd, Ryan
McGinley. I’m inspired by Goldin in the way she
documented her life and the raw emotions that are
always so prominent in her work. I love Juergen
Teller’s and Cass Bird’s fashion work, and it’s really
inspired me in the past couple of years. I love
how they have such a free-flowing vibe in their
photographs. Cass especially so, as she is always
empowering women in her work, and I think that’s
important. I love the portraits by Slimane and Kidd.
They generate such good expressions and beautiful
lighting and exposures. And Ryan McGinley is a
huge inspiration. He shot me nude for his exhibition
Yearbook when I was twenty, and being able to meet
one of my idols... it was a trip. I’ll never forget that
day.
AM: How does fashion play into your work?
KV: It used to not play into my work at all! I love
simplicity, and my personal style is more about
comfort. I like paying attention to lines and shapes,
so if clothing fits weirdly, I don’t want to shoot it.
I guess I pay enough attention to fashion, but it’s
not somewhere I go to get inspired. It’s more of an
afterthought, ironically.
AM: In five words, what’s your style?
KV: I want to feel you.
AM: What is your top moment as a photographer?
Where do you hope to take your work in the next
year?
KV: My favorite moment of all time would have to be
standing on the beach, shooting my friend Faith, who
has the craziest hair. We were shooting, and the wind
picked up her red hair, and I snapped it. It felt like
another world. I’ll never forget that feeling and all of
the other feelings that have come from that moment.

 Natalia
Rivera
natalia rivera, from barcelona, spain, had her first contact with the fashion
industry working as a window dresser and visual merchandiser in the the uk and
spain. however, she always felt that she wanted to develop her skill and she
started to study fashion design, combining her studies with visual merchandising
work. she completed her studies with an award for the best collection in her
year and was selected to show her work as part of barcelona 080 fashion
inside the modafad platform for her thesis.

066
ACHE Magazine: What is the inspiration for this
line?
Natalia Rivera: The Trip is a collection inspired by a
wonderful journey to a tropical paradise.
AM: How did this concept for the collection develop?
NR: I wanted to express a feeling that we normally
don’t know to process well. Nostalgia, an emotional
state that anchors us to past memories and doesn’t
let us see that we can carry on making new
wonderful stories. We always think that all that we
have experienced before and what has happened
is better than the uncertainty of what will happen
in the future. For that reason, I chose this topic, a
tropical trip made in the past, threw a pastel palette,
cut shapes that reminds us of a trip, and added a
pleated fabric of brightness, with sequins that shine
lights like the sun and reflect like the sea, soft and
semitransparent fabrics. Little by little, the imagery
takes form with references to memory, prints with
European architectural elements, and palm trees
with a message that this is a positive union between
memories and the now.
AM: Who is your target customer? For whom do you
design the pieces?
NR: My target customer is a timeless woman who
likes to wear clothes that can transmit a story or a
feeling, who likes the quality of the fabrics and special
pieces.
AM: Who or what inspires you?
NR: I have different inspiration as reference from
designers, cinema, feelings, traveling, art… I
especially like to go to exhibitions when I’m traveling
to discover new artists and new points of view.
AM: Where do you hope to take the line in the near
future?
NR: I would love to continue working in the
fashion industry, expanding my work and exploring
new markets, and am open to working for other
companies and designers.

“My mom was a professional ballet
dancer, and my father was a sea
captain. When they got married, my
mom decided to stop ballet for a
while to travel with my father as he
sailed around the world for work. I
was born in the North Pacific Ocean
when my father and mother were on
their way back to California from
Alaska. The name of the boat was ‘the
Renaissance.’”
ACHE Magazine: Tell us about yourself. How did you
get into photography?
Collin Levin: I was always interested in photography,
even as a kid, but really got into it at seventeen. I took
this summer camp where I had to shoot, develop,
and print my own black-and-white film. It was great
to start on film, too, because I felt like I had to learn
about the camera. I couldn’t just put it on automatic
and take a photo; I had to learn the technical aspects,
which was important. I got into shooting fashion after
I went to New York last year. I went with some friends
just for fun, and it happened to be during New York
Fashion Week. I remember going to Lincoln Center
and looking at everyone and saying, “Man, I would
love to be a part of this.” After I came back, I set up
my first test shoot and have kept shooting ever since.
AM: What do you aim to convey through your work?
Why do you keep shooting?
CL: I mean, I think it depends on what I’m shooting,
but I would say that showing some sort of emotion
is really important to me, as well as being well-
composed and aesthetically pleasing. I keep shooting
because I do really love it, and I feel as though there is
so much more to explore. I don’t like to do the same
thing over and over again, so I’m always trying to
push myself and figure out different ways of taking a
photograph. Trying new things is what excites me and
what makes me want keep shooting.
AM: When did you start, and how has your
photography changed throughout the years?
CL: The first time I picked up a camera, I was just
shooting objects, and it wasn’t that interesting. I
always wanted to shoot documentary photography,
but I wasn’t the kind of person who would go up to
somebody and take a photo of them.
The first time I shot a model was about a year ago,
and that was a big turning point. I didn’t have to
go up to a random person and ask them if I could
take a picture. I had someone who would let me
take photos however I wanted. After that, I started
building relationships with different agencies, stylists,
and so on, and kept shooting as much as I could.
It’s only been a year, but I think I’ve progressed a lot
since I first started, especially when it comes to ideas
for shoots. In the beginning, it was all rather simple,
and the more that I’ve shot, the more I’ve gone and
experimented.
AM: Who are you as a person and as a photographer?
CL: I think I’m still trying to figure all that out, to be
honest!
AM: Name a few of your favorite photographers. How
have they inspired you?
CL: It’s funny because I collect a lot of photos as
inspiration but only recently started looking into
photographers. I really like Mark Seliger, William
Eggleston, Herb Ritts, Richard Avedon, Joel
Meyerowitz, Stephen Shore, and Martin Parr.
AM: How does fashion play into your work?
CL: Fashion is fun. It’s always changing and new, so
it’s always exciting. Fashion is such an important part
of photographing people, too. It can show personality,
mood, location, and more, and I always try to be
conscious of that while shooting. There is something
so beautiful about fashion—it’s romantic, and I love
that about it.
AM: In five words, what’s your style?
CL: Avuncular, Brobdingnagian, Clatterfart, Cygnet,
Hobbledehoy.
AM: What is your top moment as a photographer?
Where do you hope to take your work in the next
year?
CL: My top moment was just figuring out that
photography was something that I really love to do. I
don’t know if I have a specific top moment shooting
yet or a specific editorial that I really love more than
the others—it’s all been a lot of fun. I would say I’m
going to just keep shooting as much as possible and
try as many new things as I can.

WITHROW

 lauren withrow is a self-taught fashion and portrait
photographer from farmersville, texas. at fifteen, she started
a 365 self-portrait project that marks the beginning of her
photography career. now, at twenty-one, withrow has shot for
clients like teen vogue, nylon, and ballad of magazine.

ACHE Magazine: Tell us about yourself. How did you
get into photography?
Lauren Withrow: I had always been interested
in photography due to my interest in being a
cinematographer. However, I didn’t have the
equipment to make films and instead borrowed my
father’s camera and started taking photographs. My
first photos were all self-portraits.
AM: What do you aim to convey through your work?
Why do you keep shooting?
LW: I like to have some sort of story behind my
images, whether it is obvious or more discreet. I’m
into subtlety. I shoot for myself. I don’t really try to
please others. If it’s for a client, then my mindset is
different. In the end, I shoot because I have a desire or
need to do so. It is a way in which I communicate and
relate.
My list has shifted as I have grown, but these four
have consistently been favorites of mine. I tend to
turn to Vincent the most in the sense that he allows
filmmaking and storytelling to influence his work
heavily. I don’t see too many modern photographers
shoot in a way that he does, and it’s really powerful to
me. I also find favorites in photographers and artists
who are my age, such as Olivia Bee, Mike and Claire,
and Andrew Lyman.
AM: How does fashion play into your work?
LW: Fashion is a major part of my photography, not
just in the sense of designer pieces. The fashion that
the model or subject is wearing must complete the
character or tell a story. I try to give everything a
place or a meaning in the photograph, to have it tell a
story about the person wearing it.
AM: In five words, what’s your style?

AM: When did you start, and how has your
photography changed throughout the years?
LW: I started when I was fifteen, and most of my
work has consistently been darker in nature, but it
has matured with me. My work is much less about
Photoshop and more about reality. I also prefer to
create more story-oriented series versus a single
image trying to depict a story.
AM: Who are you as a person and as a photographer?
LW: The same slightly pessimistic eighty-year-old
woman dressed in all black.
AM: Name a few of your favorite photographers. How
have they inspired you?
LW: Stills from an imaginary film.
AM: What is your top moment as a photographer?
Where do you hope to take your work in the next
year?
LW: I’ve had some super incredible moments, but I
don’t think I can ever name a top moment. Maybe
sometime in the future, but not now. In the next
year, one of my only goals is to put out a short film.
I’ve talked about it for so long and done little films
occasionally, but I’ve yet to properly release anything.
I’m too selective of my stills work, and the entire
process of filming has made me even more selective in
what I release.

LW: Vincent Van De Wijngaard, Harley Weir, Paolo

Roversi, Deborah Turbeville.

ACHE Magazine: Tell us about yourself. How did you
get into photography?
Hollie Fernando: I first picked up a camera when
I was about fourteen but didn’t take photography
seriously until I was about sixteen, when I made the
decision to change schools to study it. I haven’t been
driven by anything so hard and found anything that
matches that drive since then.
AM: What do you aim to convey through your work?
Why do you keep shooting?
HF: I hope to create relatable work—work in which
someone can get lost, that creates daydreams to
hopefully bring a smile to their faces during their
boring day-to-day routine. Or even better, that gives
them the push to get out of it and seek their versions
of the feelings I aim to create when capturing mine. I
keep shooting because it keeps me sane. It’s my only
creative outlet that produces permanence. The other
is consumed by hungry mouths and gone forever in a
matter of seconds (most of the time).
AM: When did you start, and how has your
photography changed throughout the years?
HF: I started at college about six years ago where
I took a great darkroom photography course that
catapulted me deeply in love with everything to do
with analog photography. I would say change-wise, I
produce work that has more of a message these days
instead of endless films of my mates climbing trees. I
like to think my work at the moment evokes hidden
feelings of wanderlust in people, as I just got back
from my first solo traveling experience and have it hot
in my blood myself.
AM: Who are you as a person and as a photographer?
HF: I’m laid-back, but I have strong visions in my
head that I like to make sure I capture. The person
holding the camera isn’t the same one that most of
my friends will know. I take a lot of time behind the
scenes preparing my shoots so the special moments
occur more often. It’s good to allow them to happen
naturally, but at the same time you need to have
a degree of control when you’re working with the
elements.
AM: Name a few of your favorite photographers. How
have they inspired you?
HF: I love following the adventures that photography
duo Ryan Kenny and Luke Byrne have, as it really
makes me pine for my own and work harder to get
there faster. My current favorite pastime, however, is
sitting looking through the work of Randy P. Martin
and welcoming the feeling of beautiful solitude and
love for nature that washes over me every time.
AM: How does fashion play into your work?
HF: I am inspired by fashion, but a lot less than I
used to be. I am more drawn to people with their own
unique style now, rather than what’s on trend. To me,
it makes people far more interesting. I recently saw
a kid around the age of thirteen at a car show who
was rocking a pair of worn-out flares and long hair
down to his shoulders. I felt so drawn to him because
he stood out from the norm and was probably an
intriguing person. I am conscious of the fact that
fashion can overpower a photo, and I want people to
like my work because it’s something they appreciate,
not because they like the t-shirt the model is wearing,
so my new personal project is all about stripping
people bare and showing off the fact they can be
beautiful without a style stamp.
AM: In five words, what’s your style?
HF: Summery, flowy, chilled, refined, Navajo.
AM: What is your top moment as a photographer?
Where do you hope to take your work in the next
year?
HF: My top moment as a photographer happens
every time someone tells me that they are inspired
by my work. Whether it’s that they’ve picked up
an old analog camera or planned a road trip, it’s
indescribable how that makes me feel. In the next
year I am hoping I have released my first book and
have found the opportunity to hold an exhibition
somewhere—that is a big milestone for me.
