Interview With A Vampire (JK, it's Virginia)

Today I had the opportunity to sit down and interview the one and only Virginia Imhof! Virginia is a Photo major with a Spanish minor here at NKU. 

 

Who inspires you the most?

I guess Pinterest and Google are where I go to find inspiration for my art. 

What about like not for art? Like inspiration as a person?

Umm...I guess like things I read, like books and stuff, I see personality traits or attributions I like and try to apply them to myself.

 

What is your least favorite artistic trend?

Old or older people posting pictures of their food before they eat it. It's dumb.

 

What is your favorite music to listen to while making work?

I like to switch it up a lot. 

-ZZ Ward (blues/rap/folk/rock?)

-rock                  -sometimes pop

-90's jams (if I need to stay awake)

 

What is your favorite social media platform and why?

Instagram. I think it's easier to promote artwork, in my opinion. At least for photography.

 

If you could go anywhere in the world, where would you go?

Australia, Italy, and Ireland.

 

What TV show are you watching right now?

The embarassing one or the other one? Actually, they're all kind of embarrassing haha. 

-Hey, Arnold!          -Dawson's Creek          -Glee

 

Who are 3 artists you are looking at right now?

1) Bryan Adam Castillo - he does really interesting double exposures, colors, and layering.

2) Annie Leibovitz - she has a wide range of work, aaaand she did a project where she reimagined Disney Princesses, so why would I not like her??

3) Lindsey Dupuis Bledsoe -  she does fashion photography and celebrity head shots. She has interesting things she comments on and uses Instagram really wisely.
