Breathing Skin Series by Luiza Boldeanu

Luiza Boldeanu (Marinas) is a well-known Romanian photographer, specialized in portrait, documentary and fine art photography. She started photography in 2007 when she decided to capture in images.

Luiza is always talking about inspiration and vision. Unlike other projects as Identities, to which she dedicated more then half a year, Breathing skin is was conceived in around 3 weeks and made in less 6 hours. 

She is stating that we should let ourselves get inspired by everything around us and the creation will come. That we should think as a child and see the world as one, ask question without being afraid we would be criticized, being wondered about every small thing, observing the way nature moves and so on. The idea of Breathing Skin came in an early morning while taking a shower and observing the fog from the hot water and the drops on the shower glass walls. While letting herself inspired she remembered all the feeling she had over the years while having a shower from the emptiness, to sorrow, happiness, fragility, sensuality, nudity, curiosity and femininity.

Luiza Boldeanu (Marinas) is a well-known Romanian photographer, specialized in portrait, documentary and fine art photography. She started photography in 2007 when she decided to capture in images, the places where she was traveling at that time. But travel photography was not enough so she started to challenge herself with different projects. She traveled and pictured people and places from Romania, Nepal, Argentina, India, Vietnam, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Jordan and many others.

Breathing Skin Series | Luiza Boldeanu

I have tried almost all types of photography but none of them fascinates me enough as portraiture, being documentary, fine art or conceptual. We, as human being, are beautiful and that is reflected through our eyes, through our features, through our gesture. It is stunning just to stay and observe, and then capture it and show it, in order to open the eyes of everybody towards the beauty that is around us. I started photography because this is the only way to express what I see, feel, think, to make public my inner being, my state of mind. And it is an unbelievable stunning feeling when you show your work and people find themselves in it, in that pictures, in that moment.
