The Best of April Visual Art Features!

=karemelancholia:iconkaremelancholia: reports, May 8
Now it's time for the April 2008 Visual Art Features, many new art to discover!

:pointr: Run by =karemelancholia since 1 year & 4 monthes.

Don't forget that many artists need to be viewed, they deserve it!
Fave Fave Fave!
My main purpose in doing a monthly feature about (to my point of view) 'the best visual art' is to put in the same level as well wellknown artists and popular creations as unknown artists and under-exposed creations.
Artists need to be supported.
So don't be shy!

:pointr: You can see the previous features here, in the Index i've created!

Here's the Menu per Category :

Digital Paintings & Drawings | Mixed Media | PhotoManipulations | 3-Dimensional | Vector & Vexels | Traditional Paintings & Drawings | Photography | Artisan Crafts

A better way to organize deviations?

*Orioto:iconOrioto: reports, May 7
The actual way of organizing content is somewhat not perfect, cause it links two things that should be independant : genre and tech of an image.

Fineart-Photography: Interview with intao

~fineart-photography:iconfineart-photography: reports, Aug 17, 2007
*fineart-photography Interview!

I am very pleased and excited to share with you an interview with =intao.


Interview by :icongilestheblank:


:iconintao: =intao



How long have you been taking images?

2 decades

How were you introduced into Photography?

I worked at an art book store stocking and inventorying books- I became fascinated with the huge photo selection of books and poured over them - By the end of that job (2 years )I think I new just about every major photographer out there dead or alive. I began serious work after that- my first camera was a Diana Camera I bought after looking at the work of Nancy Rexroth.

What camera do you use?

a Diana camera - Holga - Polaroid 660 - a canon digital rebel- and I carried a nikon point and shoot( until I dropped it too many times) in my top pocket always and everywhere 24/7 (you never know whats going to happen next.)

What is your favourite type of Photography and why?

I lean towards landscape work but my interest is very wide. I love to capture the fleeting moment or see work by others who have taken on this challenge-(fog torrential rain seascapes wind blizzards 20 below zero-here I am at home)

Do you have a reason for producing your images? To tell a story, produce a scene, or is it just the desire to create?

Mostly just the desire to create but specifically to photograph something as nothing (or nothing as something.) I do wish to convey a sense of remembrance or nostalgia in the viewers mind, a connection however subtle it is to the image.

Where do you find your inspiration?

I am not sure. I guess from inside. I do have a collection of hundreds of Sotheby's catelogues of painting auctions and I look at these endlessly so I suppose I would have to say inspiration for 18th and 19th century Painting.

Is there anyone on Deviantart who has had a strong influence on your work? How and/or why?

I am not sure where admiration ends and influence begins so I will note some DA photographers I adore
^equivoque *andrewfphoto *artbrut *BaddogLtd ~ESafian *ilsilenzio *Rasauq =sundreaming =Slopjockey this is not a comprehensive list- I could go on and on.

Do you have any handy tips for Photographers on Deviantart?

Technically I am so random abstract that I won't even begin to lead people astray but I would say the study of art history and particularly the history of photography reaps incredible benefits- I recommend the Getty's image bank.
Thanks so much for having me on your show ! ;) Intao

Thank you for kindly providing the *fineart-photography community an insight into you and your work.
