Kika Yongho, SL class 2006, has been taking photos to document inworld events since the early days.
Since 2019 she has been trying to develop more expression and depth in her work, initially via self learning and experimentation and then in 2020 through a photography course.
Always happy to exchange tips and enjoy a good chat with fellow inworld photographers.
Active on Flickr, you can see her latest works here:

Inworld you can find her busy with the ~Photo Cafe’~, a meeting place for SL Photographers: bi-weekly moderated text chat for SL photographers of any level, since 2021.
Long-term resident, wandered through various virtual worlds, some of which are now lost.
The interest in art and design began early on with painting, moved to furniture design and from there to architecture and finally to garden architecture.
So one of the pleasures in SL has always been visiting creatively and beautifully designed sims. To escape the annoying primcount myself, I finally set up my own little world in OSGrid. Where I can dig and plant without inhibitions.
Here at the Photo Cafe I am happy to be able to delve into the art of graphic design through photography, the sister of painting. Photography means = drawing with light from the ancient Greek φῶς (phōs☆) or φωτός (phōtos☆) for “light, brightness” and γράφειν (graphein☆) for “painting, writing”.
I was born in SL on 16 May 2008,
and I was immediately fascinated by the endless possibilities offered by this metaverse.
Shortly after birth, I began to try to understand how to create something of my own, how to achieve what I had in my mind. To do this, I initially attended building classes, which led me to master the first bases, and over time I continued to experiment and deepen the possibilities offered by SL, such as physics, lighting or projections.
From the beginning I found myself more comfortable working with SL basic prims.
With simple, basic shapes, and some manipulation possibilities, I can create almost everything.
Although I appreciate the possibilities offered by the meshes, I continue to create exclusively using prim base.
In RL I am an architect and in this metaverse I found the possibility to realize my idea of space and my architectural fantasy, as well as to share it with other people.
