Hi,

my name is Valeria and I'm from Turin.

I've always been in love with travel and the discover of the new places I've never been and maybe just seen on a photo. Due to different difficulties I've never been able to do this and now that I can I'm gonna catch the opportunity. I don't know where this passion came from, but I've found myself one day with this huge love in my heart, even if there's a difficult relationship between me and photography. Most of all I like to take portrait photos. I like how this can take out the true itself of a person, and I love my subjects to be real and sincere with myself and my camera.

I participated in Discover Barcelona V.

Hi!

My name is Paola, I’m Italian girl. I graduated in Modern Philology. Literature, like the other arts, is an expression of individual thought and feeling achieved through the creative process.

Where literature is a written piece of the author’s thoughts, ideas, emotions, feeling, etc…the photograph is the visual representative of that as well. I think that this experience would be a good way to improve my culture background.

Thanks for give me this opportunity! I participated in Discover Krakow IX in November 2017.

My name is Georg and I'm from Austria. I am a lawyer by profession but in my free time, I enjoy photography. I'm interested in color, light, beautiful sceneries.  I shoot mostly portraits, sometimes also landscapes. I get my inspiration from mundane things or situations, documenting the aesthetic aspects of my surrounding. I shoot mostly digital but I also love analog (film) photography. I've started shooting analog because it slows me down and I spend less time focusing on a monitor. At the moment, I am trying to set up a darkroom to print my own negatives and to organize a photo exhibition.

I participated in Discover Krakow XIII & Discover Marrakesh V.
