Unsmiling - Limited Edition of 1 Photograph

From Central Asia to France, Canada and the United States, I have crossed borders many times and evolved as a photographic artist. Walking on the streets of New York, in the city of contrasts, where one cannot exist without not finding the artistic self, I realized that the turbulent energy of the streets needed to be captured and the moments immortalized. I started from “hunting” on the streets for decisive moments and lately moved on to creating elusive moods captured in the portraits and abstract photography. "Deadpan portraiture" – inexpressive looks that can express so much is the underlying theme. An infrared camera helps me capture the light we do not see. Mordançage enhances my photographic message and creates a particular mood I’m looking for. I'm showing my work in a few galleries in the US and won awards in alternative photography. I’m a member of Professional Women Photographers group in NYC.
