Nina Papiorek (Born 1979) was born in Germany. She took up photography in 2006 when she discovered her love for photography on one of her many travels. Her work primarily deals with urban landscapes, architecture, and portraits – she particularly likes busy streets. She also covers other man-made constructions. Nina likes to capture that memorable moment in time and also produces portraits of populations from different cultures. She tries to cover a broad spectrum of photography without specializing on one discipline. If a viewer wants to peg her to something, they will have to search for a fitting one and probably they won’t find any. Her art is as multilateral as her motives and interests. What combines all her pieces of art is the aim to catch a special moment with her camera, and this has nothing to do with a particular scenery or technique, but with a feeling she likes to capture. Her goal is to portray a sense of balance, beauty, and strength, through her photographs. Nina also plays with texture and color to balance each composition. Each of Nina’s pieces contains groups of simple objects that are arranged in compositions playing on the weight and balance of each element. In Nina’s opinion a photograph always lives from an expressive face, from a unique moment, or from a story written in the mind of the observer. Her passion is Black and White photography. To her, equipment and technique only play a secondary role. In her short career in photography Nina can already look back on numerous achievements and honors.
