Ovidiu Selaru
Ovidiu is a 41-year-old confessed dreamer and award-winning visual storyteller. Born and raised in a family of artists in northern Romania, his love for landscape and passion for creating things with his own hands were encouraged and nurtured by his parents and inspired by his native environment. Ovidiu has been living and working in London for the past 16 years.
He started unlocking his creative flow in photography around fourteen years ago when Ovidiu began collecting emotions through his lens. With a background in machinery and a keen sense for exact sciences and the geometry of the world around us, he captures specific emotions by applying angles, colour and light. The street photography segment is the niche that he feels best identifies him, with a bit of an 'eternal snapshot' twist. Ovidiu feels he has a different experience than the classic stream. He enjoys capturing the quintessence of someone's inner beauty and nostalgia. Ovidiu constantly aims to metaphorically transpose his models’ souls into black-and-white memories that last for eternity. His photographs capture a unique artistic quality, clearly defining his creative patterns.
Ovidiu has been awarded first place in the British Photography Awards, and his images frequently appear and are commented on in Vogue, EYE-Photo magazine, Soul of Street magazine, and Photoshop magazine, among others
