Tention Free: Tell us a little bit about yourself. Your background, education, your photography passion etc. ??
I was born and raised in North of Romania, where I grow up in a village farm surrounded by nature. From young age I had a big interested in exploring nature and looking at things different than many other people, I think that was a sign of discovering my talent. After finishing high school studying electromechanic, I got trained in becoming a massage therapist which later on, I’ve worked in a spa for a few years.
The photography career only started after I immigrated to UK in 2012. After experimenting with social media and building a following base on Instagram, I got approached by brands for collaborations and that forced me somehow to get into photography more serious. It was part of the whole marketing and content creating process.
