Welcome to Luart Studio,
My name is Virginija Paltanaviciene and I am the founder and principal photographer. It is my true belief that photography takes me on a journey. The journey starts when I can feel what I am seeing, and I can see what I am feeling. For me, the best form of art for expressing this to the world is photography. Luart is derived from the wordβs luminosity and art. Light touches everything. Even the darkest of stories hold a glimmer of light. Most important of all, everyone on earth has a story worthy of being told and every story can be captured and preserved in time.
My own story began in a beautiful country, Lithuania, where I was born. I took my first shots with a Canon camera at age of 15. Seven years later I brought my camera with me to my new home in West Yorkshire, England. It felt like the first time that I used my camera all over again, although the scenery I was looking at was new and different. In this moment I realised that I had a void in my life that only photography could fill. From this moment forward, photography has become my true passion. It has brought such beautiful meaning to my life and has taught me about self-reflection, which allows me to look at the world differently. I am now able to observe the world from new and different angles and viewpoints and I can experience the best of it.
I was extremely proud when I was awarded a Diploma in Professional Photography by The Photography Institute. I endeavour to continue my success throughout my professional photography career.
My photography style covers portraits, people and lifestyle. I love documentary photography and storytelling. I find fine art photography genres inspirational. I am open minded and willing to photograph unique ideas, experiment and even collaborate with other artists and photographers.
So, if you are passionate about photography too or would like to have a photo shoot with me, please, do not hesitate to contact me. I am here for you! Let us tell the story!
Best wishes,
Virginija
