Interview @weni.jong
Weni, based in Sydney, finds photography to be a vital creative escape from her non-photography career, using it as a way to slow down and be more present. Shooting both film and digital, she is especially drawn to the intentionality of film, capturing light, stillness, and the subtle, often overlooked moments during her wanderings in both urban and rural settings.

Hi, I’m Weni. I live in Sydney and work in a field completely unrelated to photography, which is why picking up a camera means so much to me. It’s my creative outlet, a way to relax and slow down in a fast-paced world. I shoot both film and digital, but there’s something extra special about the film, it makes me more present and intentional with each frame.
I love wandering with my camera, whether in Sydney or somewhere quieter in the countryside. I’m drawn to light, stillness, and those quiet in-between moments that often go unnoticed.
