Iris Maria Tusa
is a Romanian photographer based in Bucharest whose work evolves around documentaries and portraits. She is an MA photography student at "Falmouth University" in the UK and a "Francisc Mraz" Photography School graduate student.
Iris also has a Ph.D. in Biology and is the head department for "Arctic and Antarctic Research" at the National Institute of Research and Development for Biological Sciences.
"Photography is a passion that has accompanied me throughout time, allowing me to see the world beyond what is obvious and present it to the public filtered through my interpretation and emotion.
As a biologist by education, I started looking at the invisible life. I understood how the application of mirrors and lenses in technology could reveal aspects that are sometimes overlooked, although they are visible. The camera became an intrinsic part of mine in my work and personal travels around the world.
As I evolved as a photographer, I operated with new visual languages to reveal layers of meaning and emotional range by being more attentive to aspects like light, texture, color, shapes, and rhythm."
