Skaistė talks about the self portraits that sparked it all, the moment she looked back at years of client work and deleted her entire portfolio to start over, and why she refuses to shoot models for her creative work, choosing instead to find a woman who catches her attention and study her online for a month before ever reaching out. She gets into how her mother's background in psychology shaped the way she works with people, why she thinks of her studio sessions as something closer to a confidence building experience than a transaction, and why after thirteen years of learning to take a good picture, she is now chasing something much bigger: learning how to take one that actually means something.
