Monika Wanat is an artist and photographer who specializes in crystallography. She teaches photography and is the author of photography courses, guides, and newsletters. She has been taking pictures since childhood and has a photo from Iceland in 2014 that she is proud of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

My name is Monika Wanat, and I am an artist, photographer, and scientist. Most of my art is photography. As a scientist, I am a crystallographer, which can also be considered a form of photography, albeit focused on single molecules. Instead of visible light, I use X-rays, and the final “photograph” is developed through mathematical analysis of diffraction patterns and computational methods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

I didn’t study photography. I am a self-learner, however, after years I took some classes to help me master my photography. Now, I also teach photography as the author of the newsletter “Artistic Lessons of Photography” which I create in cooperation with contemporary artists. In addition, I am the author of two photography courses: “Original and Consistent Photo Editing”, “Creative Product Photography”, and the e-book “How to Capture Beauty in the Frame? A subjective guide to Aesthetics in Photography. “. Courses, guides, and newsletters are currently available in Polish. I have plans to prepare the English version.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

I have always taken pictures, so I really can’t remember what the first photo was. However, the first shot for my Psyche cycle was in Iceland in 2014. At that time, I had an interest in photography. However, my technical skills and equipment were limited. Nevertheless, I did a shot entitled “Cordiality” that I was proud of and it was my first real artwork.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

I always use a Sony body \u2013 right now, I’m using a Sony A6300. As for lenses, I use them a lot. However, my favorites are Canon 70-200, f\/2.8, and Sigma Art 35 mm, f\/1.4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Winning Entry<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

I spent the day with the Ovahimba tribe. Members of the village did not pose for me, and I was looking for the moments when they were unaware of the presence of …. (Read more at New York Photography Awards<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
