WHAT DO I DO?

BASED IN Edmonton, Canada, Masha has been taking pictures for more than six years, starting out as a hobby but quickly turning into a professional portraiture business, using her three children to practice her photography and build up a stunning portfolio of portraits. You can check out more of her work on her Facebook page below: www.facebook.com/ MamaandMiaPhotography
I have always admired the Renaissance era art and worked on my own paintings for some time. Once my life changed with the appearance of three beautiful kids, I stopped painting as it was time consuming and too messy! But my artistic nature demanded a way to get unleashed, so I developed an interest in photography.
It began as a hobby but quickly transformed into something more serious. My youngest daughter Mia with her charming and bubbly personality inspired the name for my brand – Mama & Mia Photography. I mostly work in fine-art portraiture, because of the tasteful dramatic combinations of rich colours, textures, looks and, of course, the magical light.
Despite being a photographer for six years and counting, I always find room to grow, overcome ongoing challenges and learn new techniques. One part of my work I enjoy is the ability to show my vision of a moment.

Not only do you need the colours to be accurate, you also need to master the spread, angle and quality of the light to minimise glare and show the work at its best.This painting by the artist Bryan Hanlon has a wonderfully subtle colour palette.
