Yuriy Manchik

INFO: JULIA

I primarily shoot weddings alongside Yuriy, capturing the moments and angles off to the side that no one was expecting to see in the finished product. I would choose to shoot people over scenery any day, so I jump at the opportunity to take portraits.

I used to think that photography was easy art and painting was real art... after all, you just push a button. I changed my mind a few years ago when I first started experimenting with the camera and realized how much you can control, change, direct, and create in a photograph.

I plan to stick with photography for life, even as I work towards a degree in graphic design.

I fancy words and colors.

I can't live without a journal.

I wish I could travel back in time to the 50s.

I am an art student.

I like to wear dresses.

I am fond of accents, foreign people, and interesting food.

I would rather be reading.

Or outdoors.

I was given a second chance through the sacrifice of God's Son.

I consider myself lucky to work with my fiance.

I still get excited when people call me an "artist".

I am eager to learn through my work.

I have a personal blog full of eye candy and creative inspiration:
