Can you introduce yourself and talk about how you got into photography?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What can I say about myself? My name is Elena Aldea and I am from Brasov, Romania. I started amateur photography as a teenager. I didn&#8217;t take any courses in this field, everything I know and what I do now are the results of what I learned over the years. I had the opportunity at one point to see a catalogue of an international photography competition and that&#8217;s how I saw that photography means something else. I started experimenting with different styles and finally settled on conceptual and digital art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q2. Where did you study photography?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I didn&#8217;t study photography nor did I study art, unfortunately. Instead, in all my spare time I have been learning and always trying to improve myself. From what I have seen around me, from others I consider better than me, and from my mistakes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q3. Do you remember your first shot? What was it?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My first photos were taken randomly: people, landscapes, plants, animals, etc. No meaning, no ideas, just pictures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the true sense of photography my first shoot was a black and white nude. In nature. Quite a difficult subject especially for a beginner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shooting more by instinct, not understanding much about light or composition, with a compact camera, I can say the shoot was a success!&nbsp; And now after 20 years I look at these photos with pleasure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sandstorm l 2022<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>Sandstorm\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Read more at <a href=\"https:\/\/europeanphotoawards.com\/winner-info.php?id=761\" class=\"external\">European Photography Awards<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Internal Link<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Read about this <a href=\"https:\/\/muse.international\/interview-with-nathan-atkinson-from-united-kingdom\/\">article<\/a> with Nathan Atkinson from United Kingdom, Gold Winner of&nbsp; the 2022 London Photography Awards.<\/h6>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Elena Aldea has been through thick and thin to create her fantasy through different pieces enclosed in her images.
