Elena Raceala
I'm not alone. I am surrounded by my dreams. I am a dreamer.
Elena Raceala is a confirmed photographer. She captures the light and shadows of landscapes, cityscapes, and portraits in black and white, creating images that are surprising for their depth and subtlety.
Her work can be classified as Fine Art with a surreal, grunge, or poetic sensibility. She wishes to convey the emotion of discovering the perspective of a moment, of a story without words, through her images. She is inspired by life, by people's joys and sorrows; at times, her compositions resemble the human condition, in which light and darkness coexist. She enjoys exploring new locations that surprise her, but she also enjoys the human presence, the mundane moments of everyday life that she exposes in a black and white vision.
Elena Raceala resides in Constanta, a city on the Black Sea coast of Romania. In 2019, she earned a diploma from the School of Photographic Art at the Cultural Center "Teodor Th. Burada" in Constanta. She has exhibited in numerous exhibitions both in Romania and abroad and has won numerous awards, including Honorable Mention at the Tokyo International Foto Awards 2020 and Finalist in the Romanian Photographer of the Year 2018/Category: Street.

It's a glimmer of light in a density of fog, with ups and downs, it's life itself.

Asking my father some time ago if he would like to return to the place where he was born, he told me that for him the place where he lives, with the sea beside him, means openness, the endlessness.
For some people, the expanse of water means the edge of the world, for others, infinity.

Sometimes how we feel on a rainy day depends on our mood. For me a rainy day opens up a whole new world... raindrops, rhythm, hurried footsteps, wind-scared umbrellas and rustling souls that scream or smile. From all these I caught pieces and gathered them in the collection "Stories from Annecy".

Fine Art Imaging Studio gathered 5 artists and 5 collections under the auspices of the Fine Art Vision 20/21 event held at the Romana Gallery in Bucharest between November 1-13, 2021.I am honored to be part of this event with the "Tomorrow is another day" Collection.Vernissage: November 13, 2021, at 11:00.Address: Blvd. Lascar Catargiu nr. 1 010661 Bucharest, Romania.
I want to convey through my images the emotion of discovering the perspective of a moment, of a story without words. Life inspires me with either joys or difficult times. Sometimes my compositions resemble the human condition in which light and darkness dwell together.
Every moment is unique, and I choose the ones that speak to me, translating them into images. What I want is for the emotion I felt when I created the photo to reach the one who sees my works, to be almost tangible.
The “Tomorrow is another day” collection is a selection of creations meant to convey hope, it is a reason to analyze emotions, a journey of self-discovery, a way to accept the regrets and burdens of the past to create a better future. It's a glimmer of light in a density of fog, with ups and downs, it's life itself. Elena Raceala
The exhibition will be open until November 20, 2021.

A feeling of uncertainty is what this photograph provokes in me. Loneliness can be relative considering that there is already very close to you, someone who is photographing you.

....And loneliness.........!

A good title. You take a photo and you need a title. What are you doing? ......

I immediately thought of Don't Look Now. What do we do when you have another version of reality? Nu conteaza!!
