Interview With Lucifera
by Steve DIY

I came across Lucifera when surfing the net and checked out her site which was well cool. I'd also seen her on other sites and being as she has some cool things to say and being well fucking hot it was time for an interview. Here's what she had to say:

 Punk Globe: First off What can you introduce to the world of Rock N Roll?  

 Hopefully dark, inovocative & mysterious artwork to grace the covers of brutal and extreme metal acts worldwide.

 Punk Globe: What inspired you to be come an alternative model in the first place?

 I have always been a fan of art and photography  - I'd look at a certain piece with such admiration I'd wish it was of me or that I had created it in some small way, a natural feeling I supose  but it was never something I thought I could actually do. You look in magazines like Vogue and it's abundantly clear that "goth" is not in. But within the metal scene something I have long been passionate about  was the constant CD covers, posters and Videos containing "alternative"models and this was something I wanted to pursue. I started by modelling for a couple of digital artists, their main style was that of gruesome death and fantasy art something I am a big fan of and one of them I still work with even to this day www.inlocodeus.com After a while I started looking around for other photographers to work with and started taking it a little more seriously which I guess brings us up to date.

 Punk Globe: Have you any favourite photographers you like to work with?

 God so many but where to begin? I've been a fan of Chad Micheal Ward for a number of years - I have dreamt about working with him for   long long time and will endeaver to do so, I've always felt that sheer determination is worth buckets and if you are serious and relentless then you shall suceed. There are other photographers though, Dove in Sweden - We've both agreed to work together at some point it's just a matter of time, I love strong contrasts though - the work of Emma Delves Broughton or my all time favourite artist Luis Royo would be a dream come true.

Punk Globe: At what age was your first full frontal nudity shot?

This is a tricky one. I've never really done full frontal nude, to me a naked girl standing there lacks any artistic merit at all. I do however do nude work and have done since I was 21...

Punk Globe: How do you feel about doing full nude photography? Have you any limits to how far you go?

 Hmm well it all depends of the photographer and the images they produce, with the right photographer whom I trust then I always say there is no limit really, although saying this there is no way on earth I'll ever do porn. As long as it has something I can feel pride in then my name is down. 

Punk Globe: I thought the blood/gore photos of you were well cool but how easy is all that fake blood to wash off?

Thanks, LOL oh such fun and games, Gore is my favourite style of modelling, it's what I hope to gain a reputation for. The first gore shoot I did was my blood bath shots with Andy Dendy, sittling in a bath tub for near on 5 hours, I was freezing cold and was pink for a wee too - but as i have gotten used to it I have learnt how to deal with it.

Punk Globe: What have been your best moments so far in your career?

Mostly the music related work I have done - the crucifixion shoot I did for Thus Defiled with Charles from Inlocodeus was a definate high point for me and some awsome stuff has followed that, I've now been drawn by the artist Christian Sloane a few times, one was used for the Danzig tour poster and theo ther one might be used for something special too but I can't say too much about that just yet. I've just done some work with Abgott too - another Black Metal band - so all this to me means a hell of alot more than appearing in some magazine...

Punk Globe: Any tips for young women wanting to venture in to alternative modelling?

Always be careful, do some research and never be talked into anything you don't want to do.

Punk Globe: So apart from modelling what else do you do with your time?

I do photography, Fetish, pin up and gore with other alternative models, I also work with bands, photographing them live or for promotional shoots, Digital art for CD covers - so far I have done the Desolation CD cover titled the Stone Oricle which I am very proud of.

Punk Globe: I know you love music too so any bands you're listening to at the moment that you'd like to plug?

LOL always! well Thus Defiled, Abgott, Desolation - Hey I don't work with bands I can't appreciate. W.A.S.P. , Doro/Warlock my all time favourites. Nile, Gorgoroth, Katatonia, My Dying Bride, Mortician, Slayer & Octavia - god the list could go on for pages.

Punk Globe: If you were outdoors in public modelling nude and a police officer approached you regards your state of undress what would be your first words to him/her?

Can you hand me my clothes please Officer...

Not if I'm there - I'd hide them :-)

Punk Globe: You say on your profile you're in to pushing your boundaries so how far would you like to push them?

I don't have a list of things I want to do as such but some of the things I have done so far have been my idea but it's also what the photographer asks me - I always say if you have a good idea run it by me - what's the worst I can say? but if it's going to be inspired and alittle bit shocking then it's probably right up my street...

Punk Globe: You're a very pretty woman so I presume you have to fight off people wanting a date so what are the best ways for my readers to approach you?

Ha Ha I do get interesting emails yeah - not all are asking for a date though LOL, People I can admire, Honest, to the point no bullshit say what they mean.

There you go readers - don't say I don't find out these things for you :-)

Punk Globe: Anything you'd like to add?

Only to plug a few cool sites and to say thanks so much for thinking of me - was fun.
