Hi, I'm Emanuela. Photography is not my profession. I work in a hospital. Photography is my passion.

I am self-taught and have a camera for about three years, as soon as I had the chance to buy it. I've been in love with photography for many years. I love night photography and landscapes, but I'm learning to appreciate nature, the macro and everything around me.

I hope this journey will enrich me with new tools to put into practice when I return home.

Hi! I'm Claire. I live in the Isle of Man, where I'm a full-time Mum to 2 girls. I'm currently studying for a bookkeeping diploma via distance learning. In 2010 I bought my first DSLR & made photography my hobby - I'd love it as an avenue to earn some money somehow. All my photography & post processing skills are self taught. My current favourite genres are : Architecture, Landscapes, Dance and Street. I've photographed concerts for a local Dance school & would like to get more involved in this.

Hi everyone! I'm Elena, I'm 21 years old and I live in Modena, in Italy. After high school, where I studied foreing languages, I started working while I've kept improving one of my biggest passions: photography. In fact, I've attended a photography class for two months. In future I would like to work in the photography sector. I don't like to define my photography style as I take photos of everything that catches my eyes and mind, like landscapes, people, animals, architecture. Now I'm trying to experiment with analog cameras and I have to say that I love it very much. I was searching for a new expierence and challenge so I decided to sign up for this project. I hope it will be fun and I'm looking forward to meet all of you.

Since then, taking photos is one of my main hobbies and I do it whenever I get the chance. My favorite themes are nature and architecture.

This will be the first time I'll be in such project and I bet it's going to be fun.
