TITLE: At the window

In the darkness, a girl with a lantern stands at a window, looking sadly out.

AUTHOR: Normunds Kaprano (Latvia)

I am from the windy city of Liepāja.
I have had a passion for observing the world through the "eye of the camera" since I can remember - first in the eyes of a boy, later in the heart of a mature man. As a child, developing pictures with my dad in the sheets and red-lit kitchen, I could not have imagined that the camera would eventually become my most grateful companion.
I don't consider myself a professional. There are things I still have to learn. That's what I'm aiming for.
I am passionate about both nature scenes and portraits of people.
I am a member of the Liepāja People's Photography Studio "Fotast".
I challenge myself to find my own signature, while sticking to classical values. I am a photography lover who loves to take pictures.
