Shades of Blue

Often, we fail to notice the beauty that surrounds us because it’s not always obvious. That’s why I use photography to help others appreciate the hidden beauty found in both natural and man-made environments. When creating my arrangements, I spend a lot of time looking at things in a less obvious way. Inspiration can come from a sight, a memory, or a feeling. I take cues from abstract forms, colours, light, and shadows to create my art. I chose the colour blue because of its ability to instil a feeling of peace and tranquillity into our daily lives.

Marina Tsaregorodtseva is a Still life Photographer who currently lives and works in London, United Kingdom. She was born in Russia in 1978. Her way to photography was nonlinear. She completed a degree in accounting and finance in 2000. Relocated to the UK in 2009 through a work transfer. Moving to another country had a huge impact on her life: loneliness, and inability to share experiences and impressions with close family kind of forced her to restrain personal feelings. This is how she came to photography a few years ago.
