Hammond's keen eye and appreciation for detail is prevalent in her imagery, exposing fleeting moments and textures that often go overlooked. Instagram: @millieh.photography

What would you like people to take away from your work?

I think I would love to just make people feel something, or to maybe change the way in which they see certain objects around them. Just wanting to show that there can be such small details of beauty in the everyday.

Is there a musician or piece of music that you think compliments your work particularly well or that resonates most with your work?

I'd say music that is calming and ambient compliments my work, something instrumental that you can get lost into. Something I listened a lot to whilst editing the works would be playlists featuring different composers, including Kris Bowers and Isobel Waller-Bridge.

Where do you draw inspiration from?

I take a lot of inspiration from a large variety of things, like paintings, films, music and the people I follow. But, even taking inspiration from the basic everyday, seeing the sun make an object look a certain way in my house can lead to inspiration.

Can you list a couple other creatives/friends/people you look to for inspiration?

There are so many amazing creatives I follow and love seeing new content from. Some creatives I really love at the moment are: @victoriajane_photo @paulacodoner @stillherestilllife and @bethmazuryk.print
