sᴘᴇᴄɪᴀʟ ɢᴜᴇsᴛ: ʟʏᴀ sᴇᴇʀᴏsᴇ - Ep. 3
I am so honored and delighted to have today one of the most interesting and talented SL photographers artists.
In every pic of her there is a little poetry.
She can play with lights in an unique magical way.
Ladies and gentlemen let me introduce you to the fabulous
Ms. Lya Seerose !
Cla - Hi Lya! I'm very happy to have you here and thank you so much for hosting this NSLS episode on your beautiful sim!
Lya - Oh my, Cla !
Thank you so much for considering my crazy idea and put your show on the road ! Starting right here at Whisper City, our home ! I'm so very excited !
C. - Tell us about your SL, please. When and how did it begin?
L. - Like many of us, I started to hear about this "new strange open world game where you can build everything" around 2009 and I was intrigued enough to create an account and start my first steps in the skin of a total noob trying to find my way around basic prims and crazy flexis! I can't believe that 13 years after I'm still learning new things everyday !
C. - How did your love for SL photography start?
L. - I'm pretty new to SL photography. When I came back in 2020 after years and years of absence, looking for a french roleplay community, I met some nice people inworld who were photographers themselves and asked me to pose for them, that's how I discovered Flickr for SL and how I got into it. Starting slowly to be charmed by the idea of taking my own pictures with my spin on them. With months passing by I worked on understanding the settings for photography better and what would make an interesting picture, refining my taste in the matter by looking up at others. One day, I was finally brave enough and ready to open up a Flickr account and post my very first picture. I was so proud ! The community that came with posting more often was the best reward of it all, meeting all these kind people who shared the same interest for expression through pictures, who understood the difficulties behind a complicated shot, the friendships that were and still are created, that's my best accomplishment and why I'm so grateful for it all !
C. - We can't talk about your photos without mentioning your partner Adam Cayden, with whom you created some of the most beautiful and romantic pics we can watch on Flickr.
How did you meet him?
L. - Oh, thank you so much for thinking that Cla, I'm so honored you do. Adam is a master at what he does and I'm so lucky to be able to learn alongside such a beautiful soul, he taught me almost all that I know and he's the best thing that happened in SL for me. I won't go into too many details as it's personal but we started as friends became best friends and slowly but surely with months and months passing by grew into lovers. To my surprise, everyone around us saw it coming before us actually ! What's meant to be will always find a way so it did !
C. - Who is the most creative when it comes to take pictures? How do you set up for your photos together? I mean, do you have like brainstorming sessions to decide about every detail or
what is it?
L. - I believe we are both as creative as can be and we energize each other to keep that creative flow constantly moving around us! Picture ideas can spark from a discussion we have together, something we saw on our own, or a need to express a feeling, that's how mostly it sparks yes ! We also like to challenge each other cause we believe in growing out of our comfort zone and I think that's how we improve. Then when it comes to the shooting, we always help each other by building or rezzing what's necessary, providing suggestions, or simply giving encouragement, that's what your partner should be, the shoulder you can lean on for advice and your biggest fan, and he 100% is mine.
C. - What did Adam teach you about SL photography?
L. - Almost all that I know, but most of all, to give it my all every time and that's what I try to do
C. - Which is your main source of inspiration for the pics you take?
L. - A specific feeling I want to express, it's really like a personal diary that I share with others but who is mostly made for me
C. - If you had to remake one scene of a popular movie in a photo, what would it be?
L. - A movie ? Gosh there are too much, let's say something from "The Grand Budapest Hotel" as it's my favorite, full of colors and symmetry, exactly what I like !
C. - Is there one picture, among the ones you took, you particularly cherish?
L. - It changes constantly as all the new pictures I put out are very significant for me, but the one that always warms my heart is called "Touch" and was so very personal, so very "out there" for me... I'm really proud it was received the way that it was !
To this day it's my most popular picture, so, yes, this one in particular for sure !! www.flickr.com/photos/lya_seerose/50918806448/
C. - Our interview is gonna end. Would you like to ask yourself a question and give yourself an answer?
L. - I wouldn't ask myself a question but I would gladly take this opportunity to thank every single person who ever faved my work, commented on a picture or said hi to me inworld after seeing my flickr! I so very much appreciate you ! The community, even if sadly flawed by some, is mostly composed by such nice people and it's simply a pleasure to interact with such amazingly talented people, like you Cla ! Thank you so much for asking me to be a part of this !
Thank you so much Lya for accepting this interview, for your time and for revealing us all them interesting and inspiring aspects of you, your SL and your wonderful art!
