ARTIST BIO

AZMIRA SZANDALA
PHOTOGRAPHER, BYRON BAY
AUSTRALIA
“My mission is to explore creativity in a delicate practice that is conceptually bold, and evocatively meaningful, to ignite the imagination and curiosity of the eyes. In contribution to the ever-evolving fields of the creative industries, my vision is to impress unique representations that give insight to alternate perspectives of place, space, and identity”
I am a Creative Industries and Visual Design (BA) student, who explores concepts of form, space, and atmosphere, through expressive, experimental, and found unique photographic visions. By way of landscape, environmental portraits, abstract, the conceptual or the banal, my found practice exemplifies a delicate boldness reflective of the versatility within these Contemporary times.
​
Born in Byron Bay, I draw inspiration from the natural, and constructed environments, aspiring to seek a composite that resonates, the atmospheric essence of the moment, while revealing metaphorical meaning through the finer details of photo-imaging.
​
My value in the delicate, solidarity, and stillness that emulates from a photographic frame, informs how I photograph, evoking connection, reflection, and a sense of mindfulness surrounding how nature's impermanence, frames our experiences.
​
In appreciation of photography's historical contributions, innovations, and diversity, I believe photography has the potential to open sensitivities to the language unspoken, the sounds unheard, and a shared emotive response that is experienced through the perspective of this global language.
