Biography
Victoria’s original background involves working in TV and video production as a director and producer. Approximately 10 years ago her focus began to shift towards digital photography as she believes this adds freedom and independence to an artist’s creativity. Be it remote corners of the world, or in the surroundings of the hometown, Victoria continues to pursue her interests in candid, street, and documentary photography that often allow to seize the unexpected moments and magic of the world. She has always been a keen observer, and although some themes, subjects or characters may pique Victoria’s curiosity spontaneously, it's the choice of light and composition that transform her findings into images.
