Ah, an interview I was hoping would come about. I'm a silent fan of ladymorgana's work since arriving here at deviantart, and it's always good to know a little bit more about the artist. It's all gravy.

A bit of criticism

Good photos but not my style at all. Dark, gothic bloody female models with a "mysterious" look are as popular on DeviantArt as passé.

Oh, I hope Suzi9mm forgives me but "What do you eat on an average day?" and "You are both beautiful and talented, do you think men find it intimidating or not” hmmmm is this Cosmopolitan now?

her works seems more photomanipulated than photography at times as evident in the examples posted in the interview. would be nice is there was more "photo" and less "manip" to consistute a photography interview.

It seems like you have a classic concept of photography...

Hmm, I must say I find this interview weaker than previous ones... This artist is obviously very talented (even if she doesn't dingle my artistic taste buds as such), and I feel there's plenty more discussion begging to be done about the artistic process (concept, realisation, adaptation during the creative process) which has been done in previous interviews but not this. OK, I'll retract into my hobbit hole now.

If you say so, but there is a difference between the two otherwise they would not be in separate categories here on DA. I think some people use filters and "effects to much on photos to hide the weakness of the shot, I.E lack of focus, poor lighting crappy backgrounds etc... When you start doing all that to an image it ceases to be a photo and becomes a manipulation of that photo.


Call it whatever you want but I don't call it a photo when it obvious that major manipulating is going on in the photo.

So sure I have a classic definition of photography in the sense that I define a photo as a photo and an expression of a photographer’s ability to capture and portray a subject without the need to drastically add, subtract or “manipulate” the image so it is unrecognizable from the original.

Interesting as always

I think I'd probably prefer these interviews if the artists featured in them were less well known in the community... it's extremely predictable who is going to be featured in the future... just look in the Daily Favourites list every day, I suspect * coxi will be next.

~lithiumpicnic.. ~ninjakittykat... * kittynn, too much of the same!

Sorry, I just feel these interviews are more a case of "Hey, let's talk to as many gothic artists as we can, and then write about it." than any actual interesting information...

I'm sure the recipe for success on DA isn't talent, it is infact ultimate Photoshopping, mediocre images, blood, goth girls and then more popularity. If only the popular deviants are being interviewed and given more exposure to the community, how is anybody else going to become popular on here?
