JONATHAN CHERRY: What gets you up in the morning?

GARETT BONASORTE: Coffee, and the need to get to work.

JC: Are there any emerging photographers inspiring you at the moment?

GB: Megan Kathleen Mcisaac. I think she’s on the brink of being super big. I love the sensitivity of her portraits and how prolific she is. Her pictures leave me wanting to know more about the subject, who are they? Where did they come from? What are they doing? I think that’s really impressive.

JC: What is your current project all about?

GB: I’m extremely focused on night landscapes. Trying to capture that feeling of night and nostalgia from the places where I grew up. Technically speaking, it it pushes my abilities as a photographer

JC: What initially drew you to photography?

GB: Film. I love watching movies. I signed up for photography classes in high school and fell in love with the dark room, the process, and the sense of exploration.

JC: Top 2 photography blogs?

GB: Dave Kimery & This Public Works.

JC: Any exciting plans for the rest of 2011?

GB: Finish my series I’m New Here and hold my first exhibition show sometime next year. I’ve start work on a series using manufactured landscapes with limited light to approach night landscapes in a more surreal way but still carry on the feelings of my current work.

JC: Other thoughts?

GB: Thanks to MULL IT OVER and Jonathan Cherry for giving photographers a platform to shout.
