Photographer Den Kara (Moldova)
Can you tell us a little about you? My name is Dan. I am a photographer with 13 years of experience. I studied
photography on my own.
How and when did you get into photography? I started taking photography in my first year of university. My
friend had an amateur camera, I asked him to take pictures and since then I got carried away.
What does photography mean to you? Photography for me is art, my vision of beauty, self-expression.
Please briefly describe your photography style. I prefer the genres of fashion and beauty (shooting for magazines,
modeling tests, portfolios for stylists and makeup artists), and in general I shoot almost everything.
Where do you get inspiration from? I used to look through various magazines, and watch how more experienced
competitors and photographers are working, but over time everyone switched to social networks: instagram,
pinterest, facebook ...
Do you think in advance what you want in the picture? It’s depends on the shooting. If it's an commercial order,
then I try to think everything through in advance to save time and show the client that I'm reliable and punctual,
and If it's a creative shoot, sometimes in advance, sometimes I come up with something right on the set. And of
course, perfect pictures are the work of the whole team: stylist, photographer, makeup artist, and assistants...
