An Interview with Caterina Mrenes by Beata Moore

Caterina is a hobby photographer based in Southern Germany and working as a label manager in the classical music industry. She started playing the piano at 5 and for twenty years that was her profession. In 2002 she received a scholarship at the Music University of Stuttgart, but in 2006 she abruptly decided to give up the profession of piano playing. It took some two and half more years to find her way in a new profession (that of cultural management) which then brought with it what she hadn’t had before in her entire life: free time to use it the way she chooses it. She invested that time in mountaineering with the aim to make photographic documentation of her mountain tours. At some point, photography got the upper hand. It took however some more years till her photographic skills made a substantial leap in quality. read more.

An Interview with Szabo Zsolt Andras by Beata Moore

SZABÓ ZSOLT ANDRÁS is a landscape photographer from Romania. Since his childhood he was always attracted by images; that combined with his passion for mountains and wilderness played an important role in becoming a photographer. Self-thought, he learnt photography by viewing others' photos and by practicing a lot. The art of J.R.R. Tolkien and Marc Adamus had major influence on Zsolt’s work. He approaches landscape photography as a creative art form and as a result, his exquisite images brought him a lot of appreciation and considerable success. The biggest value of photographs for Zsolt is the author's approach and input, the way how landscapes are photographed, not the subject itself. He photographs mostly the mountains of his country and occasionally he visits more spectacular and distant places. read more.
