Verena Panzitt, a midwife with two decades of experience in Austria, found an unexpected path in the realm of photography within the delivery room. Intrigued by the raw emotional moments of childbirth, she undertook a mission to capture and immortalise these precious instances for parents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q1. Can you introduce yourself and talk about how you got into photography?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hello! I\u2018m Desiree and I\u2018m a fine art photographer based in London, United Kingdom. I first got into photography about seven years ago. I had a fashion blog at the time, and I remember being slightly embarrassed by the bad quality of the images I posted on the blog. As a result, I booked a one year photography course in order to improve my photography.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q2. Where did you study photography?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I learned the majority of my photography skills during a one year course at City Lit in London. I did consider going back to university but I couldn\u2019t commit to it full-time due to my main job as a translator, and in the end, City Lit was a great choice because I learned a lot during the course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since then, I\u2019ve taken some additional evening classes, and I also take regular online courses by fine art photographers to get inspired and learn different techniques.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q3. Do you remember your first shot? What was it?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I do remember the first shot that got me very passionate about photography \u2013 it was a photo of me for the above mentioned fashion blog. I photographed myself in front of a graffiti wall, going for a sort of “urban fashion photography” aesthetic. I really liked how it came out, and it made me want to take more pictures and improve my skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q4. What equipment do you use?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I used a Nikon D750 for the last few years and recently got a Nikon Z30 which is great for shoots during my travels as it is nice and light. I also use studio flashes and some light modifier for my self-portraits. My favourite accessory is my small beauty dish that creates beautiful light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q5. What do you hope to achieve?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So much! I would love to keep improving, win more competitions and be published in different fine art photography magazines. I also write a photography blog and want to expand the educational side of my business, i.e. teach others how to take fine art self portraits and how to start a photography business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q6. What compliment inspired\/touched you the most?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A friend recently told me that my images always make her \u201cfeel something\u201d. This was an amazing compliment for me because the whole purpose and driving force of my photography is to evoke emotions in others, so it was great to hear that!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q7. What inspires your unique storytelling?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pretty much anything and everything: classical painting, fashion photography, symbolism and dreams, particular colour combinations, my own emotional landscape, classical music\u2026. There\u2019s inspiration to be found everywhere!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q8. What THREE (3) words and describe your photography style?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Evocative, dreamlike and moody!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

This image is inspired by the word “DREAM” and the eternal dream of trying to do something, but not quite being able to, for example never … (Read more at European Photography Awards<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
