“I am no bird and no net ensnares me. I am a free human being, with an independent will, which I now exert to leave you.”

Admire the chemistry between Mia and Jamie!!!!Looking forward to Stainless Steel! Another film stars both of them! I believe they are good friends in real life.
‘Wasikowska has her mother’s surname, as do her two siblings; older sister Jess, younger brother Kai. She says she doesn’t know why, but when I ask if her mother’s a feminist, she replies, “Well, yeah,” in a tone that implies, “Well, duh”. “I would hope everyone would be a feminist,” she continues. “Feminism is just about equality, really, and there’s so much stuff attached to the word, when it’s actually so simple. I don’t know why it’s always so bogged down.”’

In the film industry we live a life on the road, with constant change and uprooting. Photography has become a way of familiarising myself and connecting with new environments and people. From early on, I became aware of the unique perspective I have as an actor. Starting off purely as a therapeutic attempt to organise the chaos around me, photographing film sets soon developed into an obsession and a necessary part of my working day. Through acting, I have worked with some incredible people who have let me into their lives and allowed me an intimate peek into their worlds.
