Vanda Ralevska – Portrait of a Photographer
Her father gifted her a camera at a young age, which opened a whole new way of discovering the world around her. This unique upbringing in Czechoslovakia helped forge who she is today and what makes her gravitate towards the subjects she does. more

The glitz and glamour of the corporate world and the lure of making the big bucks had me hook, line and sinker. I had given up completely on my passion and doing what I loved in exchange for status, an identity and the pursuit of money, which would ultimately make me happy… I thought. more

Laurentiu Pavel
We can thank the light – and work – for slowly but inevitably drawing Laurentiu towards photography. It’s interesting that this, rather than a love of outdoor activities, came first. more
