How did Photography happen to Aleksandra?

I began doing photography in 2010. My dad gave me a camera and I had no clue what to do with it or how to use it. I couldn’t even turn it on. But that did not stop me and I soon was able to learn and master the art of photography.

How would you define your style of Portrait Photography?

Style? I’ve never really thought about it. Having a person is important to me so I can capture his or her feelings and emotions. I love it when they open up to me and show me their world. I’m not sure if there’s a specific style for this, but I enjoy the portrait photos.
