4. Cum percepi piata pe plan local in acest domeniu?Fotografiile care imi depasesc nivelul actual de skill-uri ma inspira, si ma frustreaza in acelasi timp. Ceea ce e bine. Ma face sa pun mana pe hartie, sa schitez un concept, sa merg in studio sau locatie si sa trag cadrele, sa ma intorc la calculator si sa fac imaginatia mea sa prinda contur si pentru cei din jur.

5. Ce fel de fotograf esti? Ai anumite preferinte cand vine vorba de locuri in care ai shooting, de echipa, de client? Am avut de-a lungul timpului destul de multe incurcaturi cu modele neserioase care nu s-au prezentat la timp la sedinta, sau care nu au venit pregatite, sau sa anuleze. De fapt asta e valbil cu orice membru al echipei. Cumva e mai greu de organizat cand vine vorba sa aduci 4-5 oameni intr-un loc, in conditiile in care cu totii mai au si alte joburi de facut, de multe

ori nici macar in domeniu. Chiar si eu ma incadrez aici. In ceea ce priveste clientii, am luat mai demult o hotarare ca sunt prea artista ca sa fac fotografii la comanda cu cerinte foarte exacte. Din fericire exista reviste care imi cer editoriale, dar fara sa ceara prea multe detalii despre ce am de gand sa fac si au incredere ca va iesi un material pe care sa il poata publica, asa ca am mana libera.

6.Care sunt obiectivele tale in fotografie? Cel mai important pentru mine este ca toata lumea din echipa cu care lucrez sa le faca placere cu ceea ce fac in acel moment si sa fie multumiti si de rezultatele finale. Valabil si pentru mine.

7.Ce sfaturi dai celor ce sunt la inceput de drum?Cred ca le-as sugera sa urmeze aceleasi etape ca si mine, ca sa poata stapani toate variabilele, de la cromatica, subiecte, lumina, forme, desi stiu fotografi foarte buni care s-au apucat direct de portrete si au insistat pana le-a iesit impecabil. Depinde din care “scoala” vrei sa faci parte. Probabil rigurozitatea mea e de moda veche. Iar de promovat, doar sa lucreze, cat mai mult, chiar si fara a fi platiti daca sedinta foto respectiva le-ar putea aduce un plus in portofoliu.

1. Spune-ne cate ceva despre tineEu sunt animaT, o entitate creativa care se axeaza pe lucrari de tip imagine, instalatii sau design.

2. Pe plan local, sunt multi fotorafi barbati, si foarte putine femei. Crezi ca este un avantaj pentru tine acest lucru? Sunt avantaje, cum ar fi ca modelele sunt mult mai deschise spre a poza in ipostaze in care nu s-ar simti in largul lor cu un barbat, asa ca fiind una de-a lor, singurul lucru care ne procupa este rezultatul final al photosession-ului. Dezavantaje ar fi ca sunt unele locatii atipice unde ca si femeie nu m-as fi dus fara un asistent barbat, cum ar fi cladiri parasite, sau zone nelocuite in camp, pe de alta parte, cand vine vorba de acces in locuri cu paznic, ca si femeie cred ca intru mult mai usor. Cumva nu par sa creada ca as putea face ceva serios sau mai mult decat niste selfi-uri inofensive. 3. Cand ai descoperit pasiunea de a fotografia? Ce gen de fotografie iti place cel mai mult? Cum ai juns la fashion?Fotografia a venit dintr-o nevoie atipica. Ma mutasem in Bucuresti si imi placea mult arhitectura caselor vechi. Mergeam peste strada de ele si faceam crochiuri, insa pe unele le-as fi aprofundat. Asa am inceput sa fac poze si sa completez detaliile acasa. Asta pana cand nu am mai desenat deloc si doar faceam poze , incepusem sa ma joc cu luminile si umbrele in alb negru, pentru ca era tot ca un fel de desen, dar mult mai rapid. Practic as zice ca am ajuns sa fac fotografie de lene :)) Ulterior am inceput sa fac foarte multe poze de tip conceptual. Foarte tarziu am avut curaj sa pozez oameni, dupa aproape 3 ani de pozat umbre si geometrii urbane. Credeam si inca cred, ca in fotografie sunt mai multe etape prin care trebuie sa treci, ca sa poti fi bun. Nu poti sa incepi cu nuduri. Ala il consider stadiul final al invatarii mele si capatul drumului in fotografie. Momentan nu sunt acolo. De asta sustin ca intai e firesc sa tragi natura moarta si obiecte mici pe care le poti muta ca sa compui cadrul si compozitia, si sa incepi in alb negru, pentru a ramane doar cu umbre lumini si forme. Mai tarziu introduci culoarea. Inveti setarile aparatului tragand natura, cu expuneri lungi, pandesti rasarituri si miscarile stelelor noaptea. Apoi te muti pe cadre spontane in urban iar apoi portrete, marind cadrul tot mai mult si incepand sa tragi full body in studio. Cumva eu aici ma situez, in zona de experiment in studio. Imi place foarte mult sa pot combina si alte skill-uri ale mele, cum ar fi desenul, pictura digitala, postprocesarea sau 3D-ul, toate ca la sfarsit sa iasa o lucrare vizuala care sa sfideze putin realitatea, poate prin tonurile de culoare, poate prin lumina, sau prin elementele atipice introduse in cadre. In general in fotografiile mele creez o realitate alternativa, cu legi proprii. Personajele leviteaza des, sau se gasesc intr-un viitor retro.

Interviu cu fotograful

8. Spune-ne te rog cum a decurs aceasta sedinta foto, din punctul tau de vedere. Da-ne detalii despre lumina, camera, obictiv, etc…A fost destul de complicat cu accesul in locatie. Chiar si dupa ce l-am obtinut cu ajutorul baietilor de la bicicletele Pegas, tot am avut in permanenta pe langa noi 3 paznici si glumitele lor de rigoare. Apoi au venit baietii de la S.T.U.P. cu masina, si de la ei au mai fost inca vreo 6 privitori, plus asistentul meu a mai venit cu inca vreo 3 prieteni , iar modelul cu prietenul ei , per total cu stilist si toata lumea de fata eram peste 15 oameni, chestie care a ingreunat tot shootingul. Oamenii erau neatenti si intrau in cadru, era galagie, iar mie mi se ducea lumina. Masina nu tinea in panta si a trebuit sa o punem de-a latul drumului, se murdarise tinuta, per total a fost foarte complicat si un haos general. Am plecat de acolo crezand ca nu am nici un cadru ok si ca totul a fost in zadar. In general am shooting-uri mai linistite si incerc sa limitez prezenta multor oameni care fac pe toata lumea sa fie incordata, mai ales modelul. In ceea ce priveste lumina, este exclusiv lumina naturala si pe alocuri am folosit o blenda. Desi era in interior, cladirea avea luminator, insa apunea soarele si a trebuit sa ne miscam repede. Per total, a fost un shooting dificil si cu o alura destul de neprofesionala din cauza haosului creat. Dar pana la urma conteaza cred doar rezultatele finale.

Interview with the photographer1. Tell us something about youI am animaT, a creative entity focusing on works of image, installations or design.

2. There are not many female photographer. Do you think this is an advantage for you? There are advantages such as models are much more open to pose in hypostases they wouldn’t feel comfortable in with a man, therefore being one of them, the only thing concerning us is the end result of the photo session. Disadvantages would be that there are some atypical locations where as a women, I wouldn’t have gone without a male assistant, like abandoned buildings or uninhabited areas in the field, on the other hand, when it comes to access to guarded places, as a woman I think I can get in much easier. They tend not to believe I could do something serious or more than some harmless selfies.

3. When did you discover passion for photohraphy? What kind of photography do you like? How did you get to fashion? The photography came from an atypical need. I had moved to Bucharest and I loved the architecture of old buildings. I used to walk across the street from them and make sketches, but I would have deepened some of them. This is how I started to take pictures and finish details at home. This until I stopped drawing and started just to take pictures, I started to play with lights and shadows in black and white, because it was also like a drawing, but much faster. I would practically say I came to do photography out of laziness :)). Subsequently I started taking a lot of conceptual pictures. Very late I had the courage to take pictures of people, after nearly 3 years of capturing shadows and urban geometries. I thought and I still think that there are several stages one must pass through in photography, in order to be good. You cannot start with nudes. That I think is the final stage of my learning and the end of the road in photography. I am not there yet. This is why I affirm that at first it is natural to shoot still life and small objects that you can move around to create the picture and composition, and to start in black and white, to remain only with shadows, lights and shapes. Later you introduce colour. You learn the camera settings shooting nature, with large exposures, watching out for sunrises and the movements of stars at night. Then you pass to spontaneous captures in the urban and then portraits, increasing the frame and starting to shoot full body in studio. Somehow I am currently here, in the studio experience area. I like very much to combine other skills of mine like drawing, digital painting, post processing or 3D, everything to obtain in the end a visual work that defies reality, maybe through its colour tones, maybe through its light or through

atypical elements introduced in frames. I generally create an alternative reality in my photos, with own laws. Characters often levitate or are placed in a retro future.

4. How do you see the market locally? Photographs that exceed my current level of skills inspire and frustrate me at the same time. This is a good thing. They make me take a piece of paper, sketch a concept, go to the studio or to a location

and shoot, come back to the computer and let my imagination take shape for the others.

5. What kind of preferences do you have, when it comes to shooting location,crew and customer?Over the years I’ve had quite a few troubles with unreliable models which failed to show up in time for the shootings or were unprepared or cancelled. This is actually valid for every member of the team. Somehow it is more difficult to organize when it comes to bringing 4-5 people at the same place, considering that all of them also have other jobs, often even in other fields. Even I can be included here. Regarding the customers, I took a decision long ago, that I am too much of an artist to take pictures on commission with strict and exact demands. Fortunately there are magazines asking me for editorials, but without asking to many details about what I intend to do, being confident in a good end result that they can publish, so I have green light.

6. What are your objectives in photography?Most importantly for me is that everyone on my team enjoys the work they do at that moment and is happy with the end results. Valid also for me.

7. What advice can you give the rookies? I think I would suggest that they follow the same steps as me, so they can master all variables, starting with colours, subject, light, shapes, although I know some very good photographers who began directly with portraits and insisted until they came out perfectly. It depends on which “school” do you want to be part of. My rigor is probably old fashioned. And to promote, just to work as much as possible, even without being

paid, if the respective photo shooting could bring them a plus in their portfolio.

8. Tell us about this shooting, details about lighting scheme and gear you usedIt was rather complicated with the access to the location. Even after we obtained it with the help of the boys from Pegas bikes, we still had permanently 3 guards and their little jokes by our sides. Then came the boys from S.T.U.P with the car, accompanied by some other 6 viewers, plus my assistant came with other 3 friends, and the model

came with her boyfriend, so with stylist and everyone, we were a total of 15 people, fact that made the whole shooting more difficult. People were careless, entering the shooting area, there was noise and I was loosing the light. The car was not holding on the slope so we had to put it transversely on the street, the outfit was dirty, it was generally complicated and a total chaos. I left there thinking I didn’t have any OK capture and that everything had been in vain. I generally have more quiet shootings and I try to limit the presence of a lot of people, who make everyone to be tense, especially the model. In terms of light, it is exclusively natural light and sometimes I used a reflector. Although it was inside, the building had a top light, but the sun was setting and we had to move fast. Overall it was a difficult shooting with a pretty unprofessional allure because of the chaos. But in the end I think only the final result counts.

1. Spune-ne cate ceva despre tine Salut! Raluca sunt! Inca tanara si plina de entuziasm, o visatoare realista.

2. Cum ai inceput sa lucrezi ca si MUA/HS? Cat a durat perioada de invatare? Am avut inclinatii artistice de cand eram micuta. Dupa ce am cochetat cu facultatea de arhitectura am inceput sa lucrez in arte digitale: logo design, web design, design, design de aproape orice. Dupa ceva ani de lucrat in acest domeniu, am realizat ca nu ma completa 100%. Cautam inca jobul acela in care sa imi pot dedica mai tot timpul fara sa simt ca obosesc sau ca devine o rutina neplacuta. Asa ca pe langa tableta grafica, creioane, stilouri si pensule pentru pictura, am imbratisat un set de pensule pentru machiaj. Am simtit nevoia sa fac totul ca la carte, treptat, dar sigur si la obiect, asa ca in urma cu 6 ani m-am inscris la o scoala de cosmetologie. Apoi a urmat un modul de machiaj...dezamagire totala cand a venit partea cu machiajul. Acolo am invatat ce sa NU fac, cum sa NU combin, cum sa NU aplic si ce sa NU folosesc. Dar cum ramane cu ce TREBUIE sa fac?! M-am apucat de cumparat carti, de cautat material peste tot. Intre timp am continuat sa lucrez pe grafica, iar banii castigati din grafica i-am investit intr-o scoala de machiaj, unde am urmat cursurile cu mare pofta, timp de 9 luni. Am continuat cu grafica si dupa absolvire pentru a-mi sustine nenumaratele (la propriu) cheltieli pentru a avea un kit complet, compus din produse si ustensile de calitate, profesionale. Dupa ce am terminat scoala, mi-am luat trusa in brate si am inceput sa particip la sedinte foto. Incetul cu incetul nu am mai avut timp de grafica...Ok! bine, voi fi sincera: adevarul este ca mi-am gasit acel job de care vorbeam mai sus, profesia care ma face sa fiu fericita 100%, aceea de machior. Cat a durat perioada de invatare? Pai dureaza si acum. Pe langa orele de teorie, tutoriale, seminarii, cursuri, carti, reviste,etc. au urmat orele de practica. Multe! Fiind si o fire usor autodidacta si inventiva mi-a fost foarte simplu sa invat din tot felul de situatii ciudatele si neasteptate. Dar da, inca invat! La fiecare machiaj si din fiecare imagine de calitate pe care o zaresc.

3. Ai un stil anume preferat? Munca cui te inspira? Prefer naturalul. Mai exact prefer sa tratez tenul cu respect si sa-l ingrijesc in masura posibilitatilor: observ nevoile tenului si ofer consiliere “proprietarului” in timp ce aplic produsele potrivite

pentru pregatirea tenului. Imi place textura pielii, imi plac trasaturile fiecarui individ in parte. Imi place sa gasesc punctul forte si ceea ce ii ofera personalitate. Deci, imi place machiajul light, adica un machiaj sanatos, care sa permita pielii sa respire, care sa corecteze micile imperfectiuni, si care sa scoata in evidenta o persoana sanatoasa si mandra de trasaturile sale unice. Cel mai des ma inspira direct persoana cu care urmeaza sa lucrez, atat aspectul cat si personalitatea sa. Dar inspiratia poate veni si din filme, reviste, din tot ce este vizual... adica din munca unor oameni care creeaza frumos.

4. Cum percepi piata pe plan local in acest domeniu? Depinde cu cine ai noroc sa colaborezi. O sa incerc sa impart piata in

3 mari categorii: piata “rece”, piata “calda” si piata “semi calda”. Piata “rece” este piata...ca la

piata: “Cumpara de la mine, ca doar suntem vecini! Am zarzavatul un pic mai uscat...

dar tot in ciorba il bagi!”. Piata “calda” -unde am eu norocul sa lucrez cel

mai des- este super! Acolo dai de profesionisti, de oameni care stiu cum se face treaba, cu care ai ce discuta si ce invata, si care nu uita sa te si plateasca sau sa iti rasplateasca munca (aici ma refer fie si la acea privire multumitoare, ca datorita

intregii echipe -adica si a ta- va iesi ceea ce trebuie). Mai mare

dragul sa lucrezi cu oameni calzi! In piata “semi calda” dai de oameni

“amestecati”, nu prea siguri pe ei dar nici nu au neaparat intentii rele sau

gresite. Din oamenii cunoscuti in piata “semi-calda” s-ar putea sa ai surpriza sa vezi ca isi

muta taraba la “rece” sau la “cald”, dupa vointa si posibilitatea fiecaruia.

5. Daca ai putea sa alegi cu cine sa lucrezi din piata locala., ce fotograf/ model ai allege? Am un noroc fantastic! Lucrez fix cu cine imi doresc din adancul sufletului. Mi-am dorit atat de tare, incat asa a fost! Deci, am posibilitatea sa imi aleg cu cine urmeaza sa lucrez, trebuie doar sa imi doresc cu adevarat, sa simt fluturii din stomac cum se zbat, si pac! se va intampla! Ah...sau trebuia sa dau nume? Ei, pentru nume imi puteti accesa pagina de Facebook si ii veti gasi acolo pe majoritatea.

6. Care sunt obiectivele tale profesionale? Obiective profesionale: cat mai multa fericire mie si celor cu care colaborez.

7. Poti da niste sfaturi celor ce doresc sa o ia pe aceeasi cale de MUA / HS? Sper din tot sufletul sa o ia pe calea aceasta numai cei cu adevarat pasionati. Iar prin pasiune eu inteleg multe ore de studiu (atat teoretic: cosmetica, ingrediente, produse, IGIENA, tehnici; cat si ESTETIC), multe ore de munca cu zambetul pe buze. Revin un pic la estetic: studiati estetica. Nu tot ce e mov este frumos, nu tot ce e stufos pe gene va scoate ochii in evidenta, si nu cantitai mari de produs vor avea

Interviu cu MUA/HS

support my countless expenses (literally) to have a complete kit, consisting in quality professional products and tools. After I finished school I took my kit in my arms and started to participate in photo shoots. I gradually started not to have time for graphics. … OK! I’ll be honest: The truth is I had found that job I was talking about previously, the profession that makes me 100% happy, that of make-up artist.How long did the learning period last? I’m still learning. After theory classes, tutorials, seminars, courses, books, magazines, etc. followed hours of practice. Many! Having a self-educated easy and inventive character, it was very easy for me to learn from all sorts of strange and unexpected situations. But yeah, I’m still learning! From each makeup and from each image of quality that I see.

3. Do you prefer a particular style? Whose work inspires you? I prefer neutral. More exactly I prefer treating skin with respect and taking care of it as much as I can: I observe the needs of the skin and offer counseling to the “holder” while applying products suitable for preparing the skin. I like skin texture; I like the features of each individual. I like to find the strong point and what is giving it personality. Therefore I like a light makeup, a healthy makeup which allows skin to breathe, hides small imperfection and highlights a healthy person who is proud of her unique features. Most often I’m inspired by the person that I’m going to work with, both by her appearance as well as by her personality. But inspiration can also come from movies, magazines, from everything visible… from the work of people who create the beautiful. 4. How do you perceive the local market in this field? It depends on who you have the luck to work with. I will TRY to divide the market in 3 main categories: the “cold” market, the “warm” market and the “semi-warm” market. The “cold” market is the market….just as at the market: “buy from me because we are neighbors! My greens are a little dry but… you still use them for a soup! The “warm” market, where I am lucky to work most of the times, is great! It is there where

you meet professionals, people who know how to get the job done, people with whom you have what to talk to about and what to learn from, and who don’t forget to pay or reward you for your work (I refer here to THAT satisfactory look that thanks to the whole team including you, the right thing will come out). It’s really nice to work with warm people! O the “semi-warm” market you come across “mixed” people, not too confident but not necessarily with bad

or wrong intentions. People you meet on the “semi-warm” market may surprise you by moving their job on the “cold” or “warm” market, depending on their will and possibility.

5. If you could choose who to work with on the local market, which photographer/model would you choose? I’m extremely lucky! I work exactly with whom I wish to from the bottom of my heart. I wished for it so much that it

1. Tell us something about you Hello! I’m Raluca! Still young and full of enthusiasm, a realistic dreamer.

2. How did you start working as a MUA/HS? How long did your learning period last?

I’ve had artistic inclinations since I was little. After having dallied with the Faulty of Architecture, I started working in digital arts: logo design, web design, and design of almost everything. After a few years of working in this area, I realized it wasn’t satisfying me 100%. I was still looking for that job to which I could dedicate my time without feeling tired and without it turning into an unpleasant routine. Therefore besides the graphics tablet, pencils, pens and brushes for painting, I embraced a set of makeup brushes. I felt the need of doing everything by the book, slowly but surely and to the point, so six years ago I enrolled in a school of cosmetology. Then I attended a make-up course … total disappointment when it came to the makeup part. It was there where I learned what NOT to do, how NOT to combine, how NOT to apply and what NOT to use. But what about WHAT TO DO?!I started to buy books, to search for material everywhere. In the meantime I continued working in graphics, and invested all the money earned this way in a make-up school, which I attended with great lust for 9 months. After graduation I continued with the graphics, to

un efect de frumos. Revin si la igiena: igiena este punctul forte al acestei meserii, alaturi de simtul estetic. Curatati, dezinfectati, nu aplicati pensula sau produsul de la o persoana la alta s.a.m.d.p. Trebuie sa va simtiti la fel de curati precum un doctor care urmeaza sa intre in sala de operatie. Respectati-va pe voi si pe clientii vostrii!

8. Ne poti spune cate ceva despre aceasta sedinta? Cum ai machiat/aranjat parul? Ce produse ai folosit (fara brand).M-am simtit grozav! Imi place sa fiu inconjurata si sa lucrez cu multi oameni. Pe multi dintre ei nu ii cunoscusem pana atunci, asa ca m-am bucurat ca am avut ocazia asta si ca inca pastram legatura.Machiajul a fost unul grafic: ten palid, geometrie in zona ochilor. Produse? Dupa ce am pregatit tenul pentru machiaj am aplicat fond de ten, corector, pudra, o tusa fina de fard pentru sculpting si eyeliner cremos. Asta a fost tot.

Interview with MUA / HS

Interviu cu Modelul Din pacate nu am reusit sa contactam modelul. Modelul din fotografii este Alina Merisor. O gaisit si pe Facebook daca dati o cautare dupa numele ei, si suntem siguri ca veti fi uimiti de ceea ce veti descoperi.

Interview with the ModelUnfortunatelly we could not contact the model. The model you see in this images is ALina Merisor. You can find her on Facebook by searching for her name. We are sure you will be stunned by what you will discover.

became reality! Therefore I have the possibility to choose who I am going to work with; I just have to really wish for it, to feel the butterflies in my stomach and bam! It will happen! Oh… was I supposed to mention names? Well for names you can access my Facebook page and you will find the majority of them there.

6. What are your career goals? Professional goals: As much happiness as possible for me and my collaborators.

7. Could you give some advice to those who wish to take the same path of MUA /HS? I sincerely hope that only the truly passionate take this path. And by passion I mean many hours of study (both theory: cosmetics, ingredients, products, HYGIENE, techniques, as well as AESTHETIC) lots of hours of work with the smile on the face. Back to aesthetics: study aesthetics. Not everything purple is beautiful, not everything bushy on

1. Spune-ne cate ceva despre tine

Buna. Ma cheama Andreaa Stoian.Sunt masteranda a Facultatii de Arte Decorative si Design, sectia design vestimentar, din cadrul Universittii Nationale de Arte, Bucuresti, in anul doi.In timpul facultatii mi-am descoperit pasiunea pentru costumul de teatru si film. Asta deorece, mentorul meu, dna Prof. Univ. Dr. Unda Popp ne-a facut cunostinta , in timpul studentiei, cu teatrul. Dar si pentru ca ultimul an de facultate l-am petrecut la Roma, avand o bursa Erasmus, in cadrul Accademiei di Belle Arti, si acolo am avut ocazia sa studiez doua cursuri noi, care nu exista in programa sectiei de design vestimentar din Romania - Scenografie si Costum pentru spectacol .

2. Care sunt obiectivele tale profesionale?Am avut deja cateva colaborari cu teatrul Masca si as dori sa continui in cest domeniu. Mi-ar placea sa fac haine pentru performinguri, videoclipuri, spectacole, teatru, film. Haine pe care nu le gasesti in magazine, care au o poveste, un concept.

3. Cand ai descoperit pasiunea de a face creatii vestimentare? Cum ai ajuns la fashion?Am inceput de foarte mica, de pe la cinci ani. Mai intai in atelierul bunicului meu, fost croitor.Ma fascina sa iau petice de material care ii ramaneau lui si sa fac haine papusilor din ele. Apoi am inceput sa-mi croiesc haine pentru mine, din rochiile mamei. Fara tipar, mergeam pe intuitie. Pe la doisprezece ani i-am taiat toate rochiile mamei. Apoi, pe la paisprezece ani am inceput sa si desenez.

4. Ce designeri te inspira?Dintre cei care au facut istorie, imi place Rei Kawakubo si Junya Watanabe, pentru curajul si indrazneala de a schimba perceptia asupra modei. Au deconstruit –o. Iar din valul celor tineri imi place Iris von Herpen si Gareth Pugh. Pentru ca ma surprind la fiecare sezon cu ceva inedit si pentru ca nu sunt foarte comerciali, si-au pastrat identitatea.

5. Cum percepi piata pe plan local in acest domeniu?Cred ca piata de haine de designer este o nisa destul de ingusta, dar este. Si e in crestere.Nu exista o industrie a modei in Romania, fiecare se descurca cum poate. Dar, de la an la an, se vede o crestere a interesului consumatorului pentru altceva decat ‘uniformele’ din mall-uri.

6. Daca ai putea sa alegi cu cine sa lucrezi din piata locala., ce fotograf/ model ai alege?Ca fotografi, am lucrat foarte bine cu Ionut Serban, Mario Pancu si Cristiana Apostol, care face fotografii subacvatice.Dintre modele, am lucrat foarte bine cu Oana Edu. In orice caz, recomand modelele profesioniste sau actritele, pentru ca sunt mai expresive, stiu sa puna hainele in valoare.

7. Poti da niste sfaturi tinerilor creatori? Cum se pot promova cat mai bine? Ce anume sa invete?Cred ca e bine sa stii din toate cate putin, dar sa ai si ceva ce te defineste, sa-ti gasesti un drum al tau, unde esti expert. In mod sigur trebuie sa stii sa te exprimi in desen, sa stii tipar, sa cunosti materialele, sa experimentezi cat mai mult in timpul facultatii. Sa participi la concursuri. Castigi foarte mult participand la concursuri. Chiar daca nu iesi pe locul

someone’s eyelashes will highlight the eyes, and not large amounts of products will produce a nice effect. Back to hygiene: hygiene is the strength of this job, next to the aesthetic sense. Clean, disinfect, don’t apply the brush or the product from one person to another etc. You must feel as clean as a doctor before entering the operating room. Respect yourselves and your clients!

8. Can you tell us something about this session? How did you do the makeup / hair styling? What products did you use (no brand).I felt great! I like being surrounded and working with lots of people. I hadn’t met many of them before that, I was glad I had this opportunity and we still keep in touch. The makeup was a graphic one: pale skin, geometry in the eye area. Products? After having prepared the skin for makeup, I applied foundation, corrector, blush, a fine touch of eyeshadow for sculpting and creamy eyeliner. That was all.

Interviu cu designerul

intai. Vezi ce nu a mers si inveti din greseli.La capitolul promovare, le-as recomanda sa participe la targurile de profil, dar si partea de on-line trebuie sa fie foarte bine pusa la punct.

8. Spune-ne cate ceva despre creatiile vestimentare din aceasta sedinta foto.Aceste creatii au constituit colectia mea de licenta, coordonata de Prof. Univ. Dr. Unda Popp.Colectia, intitulal GENOM, are ca punct de plecare

matematica universala - geometria in mod special - pe care o continem cu totii.Titlul este un joc de cuvinte cu conotatii multiple, ce trimit la: GEN/NOM/OM/GEO/GEOMETRIE/GENOM.Pornind de la definitia genomului ca ‘’totalitatea particularitatilor ereditare prezente in nucleul celular’’ (http://dexonline.ro/definitie/genom), titlul este, de fapt, o metafora a descendentei tuturor elementelor naturii din acelasi corp comun.

1. Tell us something about yourself Hi, I am Andreea Stoian. I am attending the master of Decorative Art and Design faculty, clothing design, within the National University of Arts, Bucharest. During the first years of study, thanks to my mentor, Prov. Univ. Dr Unda Popp who introduced us to theatre, I discovered my passion for theatre and film costumes. To this also contributed the fact that I studied in Rome at Accademia di Belle Arti for one year, thanks to an Erasmus scholarship, where I attended 2 new classes that are not available in Romania.

2. What are your professional objectives? I had some collaborations with MAsca theatre, and I wish to remain active in this domain. I’d love to create clothing for performings, videos, shows, theatre and movies. Clothing that can not be found in the shops, clothing that has a story, a concept.

3.How did you discover your passion for clothing design? How did you get to fashion?I started very early, when I was about 5 years old. First, in my grandfather workshop. He was a tailor. I was fascinated to create clothing for my dolls, using scrap material from his workshop. Then, I started to create clothes for myself, out of my mother old dresses. No measurements, just intuition. At 12 I cut all my mothers dresses. Then, at 14 I started to draw.

4. Which designers inspire you?Of the ones that wrote history, I like Rei Kawakubo and Junya Watanabe for their courage to change perception about fashion. They deconstructed it. From the new wave, I like Iris von Herpen and Gareth Pugh, for surprising me every season with their perseverance , for keeping their identity and for not being too commercial.

5. How do you see the local market?I think the market for designer clothing is a pretty small niche , but it is there and it is growing. There is no fashion industry in Romania. Everyone does what one can do. Luckily we can see every year an increase in consumer interest for something else then “mall uniforms”.

6. If you could choose from the local market, what photographer and model would be of your choice?I worked very well with the following photographers : Ionut Serban, Mario Pancu si Cristiana Apostol and models: Oana Edu. Anyway, I recommend working with professional

models or actresses, as they are more aware of their body and mimics.

7. What would you advise newcomers, in order to succeed in this domain?

I believe it is essential to know a littlbe bit from everything, but also have something that defines you, to find your way. For sure, you have to know how to draw, to know materials, to experiment as much as possible, participate at different contests. You win a lot by participating, even if you don’t always go home with a prize. You learn from your mistakes.

As for promotion, I recommend to attend the local profile fairs but also keep in mind that the online part has to be well done also.

8. Tell us something about the creations in the photographsThis were my collection for my exam, coordinated by Prof. Univ. Dr. Unda Popp. The collection is named Genom, and has as point of start universal mathematics, geometry in particular.The title itself is a wordplay with multiple meanings, that send us to : GEN / NOM/ OM ( human)/ GEO/ GEOMETRY/ GENOM

Un fotograf se intoarce dintr-o expeditie in Tibet. Soacra-sa il suna si il invita la cina, spunand sa ii aduca si ei sa vada “pozele alea”. Neavand de ales, omul selecteaza si printeaza cateva din cadrele care i se par cele mai reusite, si pleaca sa onoreze invitatia. Soacra se uita la poze, si zice: - Da, frumoase poze, cred ca ai avut un aparat foarte bun! Omul nostru, nu zice si incepe sa manance. Dupa cina, soacra intreaba: - Ei, ti-a placut mancarea?. - Da, gustoasa, cred ca ai un aragaz si niste tigai foarte bune!

A photographer returns from an expedition in Tibet. Mother-in-law calls him and invites him to dinner, and tells him to bring to see “those pictures”. With no other choice, the man selects and prints some of the photos which seem most successful, and goes to honor the invitation. His mother-in-law looked at the pictures, and says: - Yes, beautiful pictures, I think you had a very good camera! He says nothing and begins to eat. After dinner, his mother-in-law asks: - Well, did you like the food?- Yes, tasty, I think you have a very good stove and some very good pans!
