A Conversation with Milly Ray
Milly Ray has grown up loving photography, often taking photos alongside her dad. More recently, she’s been taking the hobby seriously, doing regular shoots (mostly portraits) with her friends as subjects.
For Flash. Issue 03 — a Project See & B × Jean Marie Film collaboration giving twenty creatives second-hand film cameras and total freedom — Milly shot on a Pentax Espio 60s, creating three works: when the rain falls, Impasse, and Otaru Unga.
While she’s mostly worked digitally in the past, film offered something different: a softer kind of beauty, less polished, more felt.
She describes being excited to experiment with a film camera — capturing images in a way digital can’t quite replicate. The grain, the mood, the patience. The little unknowns you only get when you can’t check the shot straight away.
Across these works, Milly leans into atmosphere and presence — images that feel like moments you stepped into, not just photos you looked at.
