Their key mission is to discover and promote talent in these areas through competitions, awards, exhibitions, developing artist communities, providing networking opportunities and education.
TIFA Award Winner
My masterclass, Ruscona, claimed second place in the Advertising category for 2018. My vision was to keep the design simple yet unique and deeply orientated towards the brand and product on show. Nail polish bottles are generally a small object and require slightly different treatment than, say, photographing a large carry bag. I am satisfier with the feedback and results and look forward to submitting further work in the coming years.
As a Still Life photographer, I have been creating art for as long as I can remember. By continuously pushing the envelope to capture rare, beautiful and emotionally driven images, I offer an authentic look into my clients’ lives. Ruscona is a testament to the dedication I have for still life photography and for my clients. Drawing on my technical understanding and creative drive, I focus on bringing my clients’ high-quality pictures, raised by my unique artistry, skilled eye and obsessive enthusiasm for excellence.
