GGotW: What is it about the goth scene that you are attracted to?
VD: Well, in the first place, I could say that I am attracted to the goth culture, which I think everybody who likes goth in general knows that it's a very ancient and interesting culture. I have studied this culture since I was like 16 -17 years old and I must say that it has marked me in a special way.
Second, I like being goth, from goth clothing, goth make-up to goth music, because it makes me feel different and at the same time special. I like to move into another world when I am doing my photo sessions. Maybe it sounds weird, but you have to live it. If you are not living it, you are leaving it: you are not a goth girl.


GGotW: What is the story behind your Vampiredrug name?
VD: There is not much of a story behind my name. The reason I chose the name is because I love legends of vampires and werewolves. So, it's kind like, in translation: addicted to vampires :).


GGotW: Have you done many goth photo shoots?
VD: No,not a lot. I began modeling this past summer, but took like 2 or 3 photo sessions. The rest is my own work.


GGotW: What photographers have you worked with?
VD: I haven't worked with a lot of photographers...I worked with a friend of mine..and she's my only photographer :). And basically I am my own photographer ;) (sounds weird, I know)


GGotW: What photographers would you like to work with?
VD: I am proud of my photographer and well...I don't have any idea with who else I could work with.


GGotW: Is there a lot of Goth culture in your part of Romania?
VD: Well, the Gothic culture is not very developed around here and people look at you strange when you appear in public dressed and wearing Gothic style make-up.


GGotW: What do you do when you are not modeling?
VD: When I am not modeling I like to spend time with my friends and enjoying the beauty of life: taking long walks in nature (I love all nature's beauty), camping, and, playing guitar which is one of my hobbies. I like to practice in my spare time, I just love it :)


GGotW: What kind of music do you play?
VD: I like to play medieval music and rock ballads...and recently I began to study some black metal songs.

GGotW: When did you first become interested in the Gothic style?

YM: I first became interested in the Gothic style with about 14 years. I had this sort of insatiable desire to find out who I am. Since I can think I had been fascinated by morbid things and 'dark' aspects in art and styling, which inevitably led me to the Gothic scene someday.

GGotW: Did you dive into it yourself, right away?

YM: Mainly I did, yes, although I cost me a lot of arguments with Mum and Dad :) But now, they accept it pretty well and see that this is me. *laughs*

GGotW: When did you start modeling?

YM: I had my first photo shoot just for fun in summer 2009 with an acquaintance of mine. Doing photo shoots earliest became a hobby in April 2010, where I had my first rather professional and more planned model shoot. But I usually do not think of myself as being a model until October 2010, when I became more active with living out my ideas in sets and scenery and where photo shoots became not only a hobby, but a passion.

GGotW: What photographers have you worked with?

YM: I have worked with photographers like Andi Bell, Michael Kueper and Moritz Maibaum, and also Catherine Lee Mason and some more :)

GGotW: What styles do you like to wear?

YM: I like a lot of different styles and aspects of Styling, I mainly prefer the fetish style with lots of patent, PVC and latex, classical Gothic styling and parts of cyber-styling. But also Burlesque styles fascinate me a lot.

GGotW: What do you do when you are not modeling?

YM: Besides modeling, making my own clothes, accessories and hairfalls is one of my greatest passions. I like to be creative, I occasionally also draw and paint. I like meeting my friends and going out clubbing all dolled up, but there are other days where I rather prefer staying at home reading a good book.

GGotW: What has been you best experience as a model?
YM: I think that would be definitely meeting Andi Bell for working with him for the first time. I was very surprised he was interested in working with such a "newbie" like me, as he has been shooting with other, more experienced models as me. I was very excited and nervous but also very pleased how well it went actually - it was a good feeling to get this confirmation that I got somewhat of a talent for it.

GGotW: What would your ultimate photoshoot involve?
YM: Lots and lots of different costumes (preferably self-made), make-up craziness, creative ideas and a good laugh, things to talk about besides the actual shooting stuff - well, I think every photo shoot I did so far had been a sort of ultimate one, because I was lucky to work with such interesting and nice photographers.

GGotW: How do you prepare for a photoshoot?
YM: I often sew/make my outfits and accessories myself, and invent/practice new make-up, ideas that have been spinning in my head.
Mainly this is all of the preparation I do, because I think the rest often comes whilst shooting - a bit of spontaneity is important, maybe even more as a good planning.
