Interview with Photographer Dylan Streifel

Dylan Streifel a 21 year old SAIT Polytechnic student who has been using his photography and writing skills to show his point of view of the world. When asked he states that he was always interested in writing whether it be a grand factious story or poetry or lyrics. Photography soon took up his interests though and he decided to take journalism at SAIT. Although a new comer on the scene he has done shots for a few local bands like Makeshift Innocence, Incura , Dead Pretty and the Suppliers. When asked about influences he says locally he has been influenced by Patrick Latter and The Photo Fiend. "I look to them because they're from Calgary and show that you can get a reputation in this city if you work hard and shoot everyday." When asked about international influence the main one is Adam Elmakias who is constantly working and touring with larger named band like Bring Me the Horizon. Streifel is interested in one day work with bands like Queens of the Stoneage, Radiohead and Avenged Sevenfold but until then he is completely satisfied with shooting local bands like reunited Belvedere, Torches to Triggers and of course he jokes Risky Endeavor.
