Tell us about yourself and what first attracted you to Second Life?

SD: The possibility to create anything I wanted was the most attractive thing in SL for me. It was a huge world I met in 2007 and it will be 10 years in August 2017 that's I'm a SL resident!

What got you started in SL photography?

SD: I used to be a runway model in SL and around 2010, my boss at one of the Models Agency I worked for asked me if I wanted to take some photos for their Magazine.

I was really surprised, because I had done one shot or two.

Nothing much.

But she said something that I'll never forget; she told me that she wanted my vision, not my technicality.

Cause technique we can learn, but the vision of a photographer is unique and that can't be taught.

Her words gave me confidence to go on taking photos, up to doing complete Fashion spreads for AVENUE Magazine.

How would you describe your style?

SD: I honestly don't know if there is a name for my style.

I love taking raw shots in SL.

Playing with SL viewer phototools, windlight settings, shadows, projectors and then just clean up the photo just a tad, on PS.

So, I'm not a drawer, or a digital artist.

I'd define myself as a SL photographer.

My SL viewer is my camera.

I will fight till my last dying breath
