The Piece That Changed My Life: SwAti Bhatnagar (photographer, India)
This series was influential to me because I’ve come so close to capturing my own soul in these pieces. They signify ‘me’ in every form. They were taken at a time when all I had was a point and shoot camera. Since then I’ve grown and learnt that art must come from the heart and ...

The Piece That Changed My Life: Nina Di Cara (photographer, United Kingdom)
I have never taken my photography seriously, and I never really expected other people to either. I was always hugely inspired by photographers but never ever felt like I could create anything on their scale. I created a deviantArt account mainly to post random pictures I had taken, because I have always enjoyed photography and ...
