invited guest: Zosia Zija

Zosia Zija, what can I say more...perhaps no more words needed...

Zosia is a legendary creator of wonderful, soft portraits, appealing, I am sure of that, not just to my heart, but many of others.
From the other side Zosia is legendary pioneer of presenting photography in internet, she was perhaps the first from Polish photographers who started to show her work in global portals of photography.
At least, she was the only Polish photographer I met, when I started to show my photography abroad.
For me personaly, discovering Zosia's photography was a milestone opening me eyes to new magic world of photography.

I am truely grateful I found her work few years ago, I am happy and proud even more, that she agreed to show some of her work on F blog.

Ladies and Gentelmen: ZOSIA ZIJA!

zosia zija, born in 1975, a photographer searching for simplicity in what she does, she loves simple and ordinary people, who she tries to see through the lens as extraordinary. her life motto is: follow your heart, whatever that means ;) so far, zosia had 7 exhibitions of her work : 2 in Warsaw (Poland) - 2003, 2005, one in Poznan (Poland) - 2003, one in Milan (Italy) - 2003, one in Castelo Branco: collective exhibition from the members from Pontos de Vista (Portugal) - 2004 and two in Brussels ( Belgium) - both in 2006. on an ordinary day she is a commercial photographer. it is said of her that she does portraits even when she shoots landscapes, but she does not like stereotypes, as she thinks that creativeness is like life, which someone once compared to a box of chocolates... you really don't know what you will get, which - in creativeness - means a constant search for something new, metamorphosis etc.
zosia lives and works in Warsaw. she has been a photographer for 15 years now. although she recons that it all started 5 yrs ago, when photography became her way of earning a living.
