Luiza Marinas

As we pass by life most of us forget to open our eyes and see. Since I put my hand on a camera, I started to see the world in a different way, a way that I couldn’t describe in words. Photography is more than technique and composition. Photography “speaks” through light and shadows about emotions, moments, inner feelings, life style, cultures and customs. It speaks about life, and this is what I love and want to express through my images.

I always try to make pictures in which each viewer can find himself in a certain stage of life whether we talk about weddings, Christianizing, family portraits or documentary photography. I started photography in 2007 when I decided to capture the places where I was traveling. But travel photography was not enough so I started to challenge her with different projects. I traveled and pictured people and places from Romania, Nepal, Argentina, India, Vietnam, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Jordan and many many others.

I have tried almost all types of photography but none of them fascinates me enough as portraiture, being documentary, fine art or conceptual. We, as human being, are beautiful and that is reflected through our eyes, through our features, through our gesture.
