Angelik Kasalia is an artistic photographer certified from PSA, FIAP, IMAGE SANS FRONTIERE and UNITED PHOTOGRAPHERS IINTERNATIONAL, and member of the Photographic Society of Athens and The Cinematic and Photography organization of Syros. Since her childhood she had a passion for visual arts, painting, fashion designing and photography, she loved exploring the varied dimensions and genres of photographic art. Today she would identify her style as modernist, realist with strong liking for abstract work, it’s a need to go around, to look, to see and to show what she saw alwayssearching something new, something she can only find through her camera in her special way. The intuitive nature of pinhole camera photography amazed her years ago, since then she started the Pinhole Project, a lensless experimentation in the research of new creative possibilities. https://www.flickr.com/photos/89654489@N07/albums/72157633496084456 She tries to photograph life from her angle, showing you fragments of light, high contrast, shadows and aesthetic integrity.
