Autumn de Wilde from Morrison Hotel Gallery: 'I Have a Ton of Energy'

Autumn de Wilde, photographer and director, has captured some of the most iconic moments in music history through her work with Morrison Hotel Gallery. But behind the lens, she's also an advocate for kindness and self-acceptance. In a recent interview, de Wilde shared her thoughts on fame, humility, and working with the talented Saoirse Ronan.

'I have a ton of energy, and I think this career and the hours of this career require that they make me tired enough to be sane, which I appreciate,' she said. Despite skyrocketing fame, de Wilde believes it's essential to stay grounded and true to oneself. 'It's such a difficult journey for every individual to become friends with themselves. A friend of mine once told me, 'You would never speak to your friends the way that you speak about yourself,' which was huge,' she emphasized.

De Wilde spoke candidly about her own struggles, including being bullied as a child and learning to be kind to herself. Born in Miami, she spent most of her childhood in Argentina before moving to England with her family. Despite these challenges, de Wilde has become known for her infectious energy and humility.

'I think 'Saoirse Ronan' makes you wish you were there watching her work,' de Wilde said of the talented actress, who she directed in the film 'Emma'. Part of what makes Ronan so magnetic is her complete lack of narcissism, according to de Wilde. 'She's a never-ending box of drawers and secret passageways.'

De Wilde has formed close bonds with many of the directors she's worked with, including Greta Gerwig and Joe Wright. They share a common bond in their admiration for Ronan and their excitement to see her grow as an artist. 'You don't get that many roles back-to-back if you aren't somebody who's good to work with,' de Wilde noted.

In conclusion, Autumn de Wilde from Morrison Hotel Gallery is more than just a talented photographer – she's a passionate advocate for kindness, self-acceptance, and the importance of staying humble in the face of success. Her words serve as a reminder that fame doesn't have to mean losing one's sense of self, and that true greatness comes from within.
