" My name is Ira Kolominova. I born in 1979. I live in Belarus with my husband, who is an artist, a dog and two cats.
My father taught me how to print photographs back in the distant Soviet past. Every weekend we printed black and white photographs, and these are my fondest memories of childhood. The smell of developer, a full bathtub with floating photographs, and red light had a magical effect on the child’s consciousness.
In 2010, I studied digital photography techniques, knowledge of composition and lighting techniques for models from Brest photographer Artur Yakutsevich. I became interested in digital collages and opened a small local studio where I made collages for people.
But in 2020, I discovered the world of Pinhole, read literature about tax photography, and began to follow film photographers on social media networks and plunged into the world of analog photography without a camera. I converted an old retro camera into a camera obscura and began to produce artistic photography. I was invited to the Pictorial Photography exhibition in 2021. Now I'm experimenting with hand printing, old cameras, pinhole".
