Photograpy has been my hobby for three years. I got my first SLR camera as a Christmas preset in 2008. Traditional film processing I tried first at school in autumn 2009 and I had to admit that I fell in love with black and white photos. I spend a lot of time with my dog and I have my own agility group which I train once a week. 

My memories from Lithuania.

Photography has established into my life since couple of years ago when I started to take my camera with me on my wanderings in the fields and forests near home. Later, especially after getting a SLR camera, I started to photograph other objects too. My other hobby is music; I used to go to the concerts and buy CDs. One of my biggest dreams is to familiarize with gig photography and combine my both hobbies.

My memories from our trip to Vilnius.

Mari Perkiö

I have had photography as my hobby for three years. My first SLR camera I got for my birthday in 2008. My focus has been on digital photography.

These are my photos from our workshop in Uzupisi quarter in Vilnius.

Photography has been my hobby for about four years now. I bought my first SLR camera last summer. I like to photograph horses because I am very fond of them and riding has been my hobby for ten years. I used to visit stable four times a week. I graduated of a commercial institute in spring 2009. My family members are parents, four brothers and sisters, a dog and a hamster.

Greetings!

I’m Arielle Carroll, a photographer located in Estonia.

For me photography is a form of art that allows one to express and capture feelings and emotions. That’s what thrives me to explore the depths of its beauty. For a few years now I’ve taken a huge interest in concert photography. I enjoy the thrill and challenge of capturing the precise moments of events I visit. I am also intrigued by digital art, so very often I try to combine the two to give the desired atmosphere.

Since studying photography at school I’ve taken a found involvement in fashion photography as well as still life.
