Hello Dear Visitor!
Thank you for stopping by and reading some of my blogging. I hope I made five minutes of your life a little bit different. Hope that it was positive experience.
Let me introduce myself a little bit.
My name is Joanna. I am self-taught photographer.
Even though self-taught, there is many people I could thank for directing me, influencing my work, critiquing, supporting, suggesting, commenting, spending their time to listen to me. Thank you for that!
I am also wife. To great guy who got me into to knowing some more than average about computers, enjoying discovering new gadgets in electronics, laughing at “pearls before swine” comic strips- and many more fun activities.
I am knitter. A bit lazy these days, where so much is going on- and I spend more time photographing something or trying to squeeze sleep in my schedule.
I am book reader. What can I say- fiction is the best way to change my reality sometimes.
I am also workaholic. Always tons of stuff to do. Trying to work on my list system these days- to help get my plans organized.
If you have some questions for me- you can always contact me through my website’s http://joannasfoto.com contact form or just send me an e-mail: joanna[!a]joannasfoto.com
Thanks!
Joanna
Artist Statement
Ever since the first camera I got to hold in my hands I thought about it as a magic device.
It still is for me. The ability to freeze a moment. Chance to capture something that is so many times so close, but so often unnoticed.
The choice of photographic subject is infrequently set up. More often I just go with my camera and stop when I have noticed something that is attracting my attention. I like to take a stroll through the neighborhood and find interesting flowers, plants, forms and shapes in gardens I am passing by.
It all started so simply- the art of taking pictures of flowers. Since than I have discovered different photographic techniques, many options that the equipment can offer and so many ways of transforming original file into the final image that shows exactly what I was trying to point to in the first place. Very often I use specific color scheme to place stress on the part that I would like to show the most. The nature itself is the most inspiring to me. I like to take a look at things I can find around me and show it with stress on different that usual part. I like to experiment with colors, trying various approaches. My favorite tones are brown, green, gray and those most of the time found in my work.
