I'm not good with words and to me, to take good photos it isn't enough just to see the best moment of things, you also need to know how to put the feelings you have for it into the camera. It's the way I try to explain myself and what I feel about life.

I've participated in Discover Barcelona 6.

I am into any kind of art - I love visiting galleries and museums, attending concerts etc. I cannot sit in the same place for too long, I love exploring, getting to know other cultures, people, places! My favourite travel destination is Greece - the country I left my heart in. Taking photos of Greek landscapes and Greek people brings me an immense joy. Photography, for me, is telling a story which I am unable to tell using only my words. And I definitely prefer to speak through my pictures. I can’t wait to discover Kraków with you guys!

Hi, my name is Rebekka, I'm 19 years old and I'm from Germany.
 
I love taking pictures but I'm not a professional photographer.
For me photohraphy is a process, where I am totally by myself.
It's about creating a picture out of reality and my fantasy. In the end you can see my perspective and personality.
 
Nature and landscapes are my favourite part of photography but I am looking forward to discover new genres.

Hello there! My name is Jenny, I am 37 years old and I am from the south-west of Germany close to the borders of Luxembourg and France.
I am a teacher at a German high school for English and Geography. Even though I love my job, deep inside my soul I am more of an artist. When I take photos I like to capture fleeting moments or things which people usually pay no attention to. I love to play with perspectives and make them tell stories.
I am not a professional photographer and therefore I am excited to gain more experience in the field.
Looking foreward to the experience and to meet you all!

 

Jenny
