New York based photographer Karina Iohan was born in Bucharest, Romania where she spend the first years of her childhood. In 1989 she won Freeport Art Council Photo Competition Best-In-Show Highest Award and her work has been highly praised by the New York Times Magazine. Almost Franciscan in her modesty her work is for her a perpetual occasion of shared joy: “What am I? An image beggar! I beg people to give me an image, funny or painful, an image, a moment of breath." “The stillness of time remains encapsulated in my images. They release energy and they speak on their own, they tell me tales about a succumbed past.“ “I paint my life with my camera, with my lens I feel, with the shutter I shoot, I freeze a gesture that comes from within.” email Karina Iohanan : francisca33@yahoo.com
