12 Questions: Petra Collins
We asked the photographer—she shot our Beacon Collection; pretty, don’t you think?—about teenagers, overalls, and getting the boot from Instagram:
I wake up to my boyfriend’s annoying alarm clock that is on permanent snooze mode in the morning.
I take my coffee black.
My feminist icon is Malala Yousafzai.
My favorite thing about wearing overalls is feeling like a farmer.
The number of times I’ve been kicked off Instagram is once and it made me feel like [EXPLETIVE].
Tumblr is the website I visit most, other than the usual stuff like email.
I never leave home without my phone and a charger.
I love making art.
I looooooove riding in cars listening to music.
Photographing teens forever is my dream.
Right now, I’m listening to If It’s Lovin’ That You Want by Rihanna.
I go to sleep with thoughts of food dancing in my head.
