Fantastic Interview With Fine Art Portrait Photographer Cristina Venedict

Cristina Venedict is a Fine Art Portrait Photographer from Botosani, Romania. She fell in love with photography in 2010, after her son was born. In her words about passion for photography “To maintain my passion I like to use different styles. I don’t settle down with one specific style. I have periods when I shoot only portraits, other times I love couple or family sessions and sometimes I like to escape in a world of dream and create something magical. I like this about me, this makes me happy and keeps my passion for photography alive and growing. Even I don’t know what to expect from me. I want to work on projects that represent me and make me discover parts of me that are hidden. I want to surprise myself!” Thanks, Cristina for accepting for the invite. Please read on…

"Cristina Venedict’s fine art captured our eyes - it  not only showcases her skills as a photographer, but her imagination and creativity. Her work is painterly,  poetic and romantic. Based in Botosani, Romania, Cristina’s childhood plays an important part in influencing the way she sees, and the way she creates her photographs.  Her aim with her work is to invoke emotions and self discovery. And I think she has succeeded in communicating that. 
Cristina has won many awards for her fine art work and is an exhibiting and well published photographer."

Urban Portrait Awarded

A captivating urban portrait has been awarded the Photo of the Week accolade.
Editor’s Note: This is a really stylish, on-trend image that looks like something from a high-end fashion magazine shoot. The image is well composed and there is just enough blur from the aperture used to make the model the main subject of the image but still keep the street in the background recognisable.
There is a warm colour cast on the image that gives the impression of a summer’s evening and the model’s glance to the side of the camera captivates the viewer, making them wonder what she is looking at.
Overall this a very pretty image that’s pin sharp where it matters.
The winner of the Photo of the Week winner currently gets their hands on a 64GB PRO Plus memory card from Samsung.
