Radu

“I may have been a soldier, but I always had an artist's eye for beauty.”

Radu grew up in the small village of Bran, Romania, known for its famous castle and Dracula lore. Despite his fascination with the supernatural, Radu's calling was to serve his country and he joined the Romanian army at age 18. He spent several years stationed at the country's border, keeping watch for any signs of enemy activity. It was during this time that he developed a love for photography, capturing the beautiful landscapes of Romania on his trusty Canon camera. Radu is now retired from the army but still pursues his passion for photography, showcasing his work in galleries across the country.

What was the most challenging experience during your years in the army?

The long hours and isolation were tough, but the hardest part was being away from my family and missing out on important moments with them.

What advice would you give to someone who wants to pursue a creative passion?

Don't be afraid to take risks and try new things. It's never too late to explore your creative side, and you never know where it may lead you.
