MODERN ARTIST
A few months ago, to my indescribable rapture, I noted horror photos 360 from Adam Martin Evings on Facebook. Need I say that from all daily updates in my feed with the same type of posts like « what country are you a fan of horror from », « what is your favorite movie », « end the phrase », etc., 360 photos look new, interesting, they interact with the audience. There is a wow-effect.
After a while, I was already looking forward to new works from Adam. Today there is an opportunity to interview him.

HELLO. HOW ARE YOU? I am not bad, thank you.
TELL ME ABOUT YOURSELF. WHEN WERE YOU FASCINATED BY PHOTOGRAPHY? WHAT PROMPTED YOU TO THIS?
I was interested in photography in my late teens. But started really getting into it in my mid 20’ s.
WHO SAW YOUR FIRST HORROR PHOTOS? CAN YOU JUDGE THE NATURE AND PERSONALITY OF THE PHOTOGRAPHER BY THE PICTURES?
First ones to see them were the people out with me posing the shots. No, you can never judge a book by its cover or a photographer by his pictures.
WHAT CAMERA DO YOU USE?
I use a Nikon D5000. And Samsung Gear 360. And now purchased the Ricoh Theta V
HOW DID THE IDEA OF 360 COME ABOUT? I CAN ONLY ASSUME THAT THIS WAS MOTIVATED BY A DESIRE TO STRENGTHEN THE EMOTIONALITY OF PHOTOGRAPHY AND TO INVOLVE AUDIENCE INTO THE ACTION.
Yes I am a person that likes to look for new ways for people to interact with my content. A simple photo is straight on. And there is nothing wrong with that hence I still take them but I wanted to create an atmosphere where they have to look around.
WERE THERE ANY CASES WHEN PEOPLE EXPERIENCED PHOBIAS AND DARED TO LOOK THEIR FEARS IN THE EYES DURING A PHOTO SESSION? WHERE DO YOU FIND YOUR MODELS? CAN YOU TELL THE STORY OF CREATING ONE OF THE PICTURES?
Not really everyone that has come out on a shoot has always enjoyed it. Couple of the girls didn’ t like being out in the dark. But then again. You do sleep with your eyes closed lol
All my models are close friends.
