STACEY THOMPSON InTeRVIeW BY: PHILLIP DIAS JR.

Stacey Thompson is a 28-year-old photographer based in the cape girardeau, a small missouri town on the mississippi River. Stacey’s interest in photography developed through experimentation with her father’s camera. At the age of 18, she purchased her first DSLR and began to take self portraits. This led to shoots with classmates, and, eventually, photo sessions with models in the area. now, Stacey is an internationally published photographer. She frequently travels to Saint Louis missouri to work nearby modeling agencies. In addition to fashion photography, she also oﬀers wedding, engagement, and boudoir session, as well as senior portraits. As a child, Stacey was an avid reader. Her favorite genre as a child, and even now as an adult, was fantasy. Books were a means of escape from the mundane world; fanciful stories were a break from reality. This heavily influences her photographic work today. For Stacey, photography is a means of projecting her idealism onto the world. Her images present themes of ethereal beauty, as she attempts to show a more romantic, intangible view of life.
