Interview with photographer EveVictus

This week the wonderful photographer, EvelynVictus gave me an equally wonderful interview.
She shares what inspires her, her tips for other photographers, and her favorite thing about photography.

WindInTheCoffeeCup What inspires you?

EvelynVictus I definitely get inspired by other photographers on deviantART. When I see other beautiful photography, I feel compelled to make something just as beautiful. I really enjoy it, and it makes me very happy.

WindInTheCoffeeCup What's your favorite thing about photography?

EvelynVictus I'd have to say my favorite thing is seeing something I create after I have finished it. You can do many things with photography, and I enjoy trying new effects and taking photos of things I find interesting. I always say to myself to take my camera everywhere, because you never know when you will see something that you would like to make a photo out of.

WindInTheCoffeeCup Do you have a favorite photographer? If so, why is he/she your your favorite?

EvelynVictus I do not have an ultimate favorite photographer. There are just so many, and so many I have yet to see. Someone I really enjoy though is Armene. I think she takes very interesting photos. She tries new things, and she has a good imagination. I really enjoy her style as well.

WindInTheCoffeeCup Do you have any tips for other photographers?

EvelynVictus Well, I'm still learning myself. I only took Graphic Arts in high school, and I never went to college. I can say I'm a self-taught photographer. I would like it to be a side job one day. I actually want many jobs. I still think myself as a beginner, but I'm definitely growing. Something I can say is to definitely take your camera everywhere (everywhere you can). Try to think of different angles, different subjects, etc. Use your imagination. I really enjoy Photoshop as well, and Lightroom. Lightroom is really good for photography. I never change the way a person looks, or any animal. I just like to turn a simple shot into something more. It's fun too, messing around with coloring and effects. Just never over-do it, unless it's the intention. One day I really hope to be professional, but I'm not now. So, I don't have any huge tips. I wouldn't feel comfortable anyways, since I still think myself as a beginner.

WindInTheCoffeeCup What got you started in photography?

EvelynVictus Ever since I was a little girl, I loved every form of art. I would paint, draw, etc. I didn't realize how much I loved photography until I got my hands on a camera. I just brought it everywhere and took photos of everything. Then that love grew, and I wanted to make something out of it. I wanted to do more, so I would read articles on photography. I also really enjoyed doing the darkroom at my school. One day I will be able to afford a really nice camera, the kind professionals have. I can't wait for that.

WindInTheCoffeeCup Do you have a favorite photo you've taken?

EvelynVictus No, I do not. I don't think I will ever have a favorite. I do enjoy my eye shots. I enjoy eyes in general. There's just something about eyes. I do like the photo I took at the zoo. It's called, "Paysage". fav.me/d5ixh91 I remember when I saw that aoudad sitting there with the scenery, I got so excited. I thought it was a perfect scene to capture.
