What themes run throughout your work? Fantasy
What makes you decide to create your work? I've always been interested in photography, so every day things inspire me to take photos, I often get an idea in my head and must do that certain concept the same day otherwise it'll be bugging me for a while..
Where do your talents lie? Photography, although I'm not a professional, i feel I have learnt a lot in the past year.
What successes have you had so far? My work has been used for book covers, I've been commissioned for quite a lot of things - weddings, band photography, CD covers and I've been successful on certain websites.
What was the first creative thing that you ever did? I guess it was photomanipulation, when I first started. I created a lot of photography mixed with photomanipulation.
Has anyone taught you how to use your talent better? A lot of people have helped me the past year, I started college in september 2005 and that has helped me a lot with understanding the camera better. Critique is also something that helps me, if someone tells me I need to improve, I'll try extra hard next time. You can't learn from praise.
What makes you creative? Inspiration, if I see something that inspires me I'll often try and do it my way.
How did you get started? I started off using my dad's camcorder that took still shots, it wasn't even one megapixel but it enabled me to grasp a good visual eye of photographing objects/people.
What inspires you? Drawings / Dreams / Nightmares / Every day objects. I feel often the most simple thing enables you to see a concept you can photograph.
Who inspires you? Painters / Photographers
What are you trying to achieve? Through my camera I see a different viewpoint, I like to create visually good images that people don't see in their everyday lives.
Do you collaborate? I've collaborated in the past, you can see on my deviantART page these collaborations are 'Nevermore' and 'Her soul still remains'
Ignoring money and all of life’s woes, what would you want to be? A photographer
Accepting the need for money and all of life’s woes, what do you want to be? A photographer (whatever the situation is)
What’s the most amazing thing you’ve ever seen / heard / experienced? A lot of photographs I've seen have inspired me to do better in my work.
What do you consider to be the most important thing in life? Love
Who/what is your nemesis and why? Nemesis? I guess it's when certain pictures don't turn out when I've planned them.
