Lipovan Cristian

My name is Cristian Lipovan, I was born in Gherla, Romania, in 1982. The passion for photography started back 14 years ago when I bought my first DSLR camera, followed by a photo class in Cluj-Napoca. I like to approach different styles of photography, but I prefer the most URBEX (Urban Exploration) photography. I think this genre represents me the best, that`s why I`m even more concerned with my project called PLACES SUFFERING.
