Polina Plotnikova FRPS, EFIAP

They say that a photographer is either a picture taker or a picture maker; Polina is firmly in the picture makers' club. While fully appreciating the "what you see is what you get" approach, she is much more interested in chasing an ever-elusive image that appears in her mind's eye, the kind of an image that conveys her feelings and emotions rather than remains a mere statement of fact. 

Prior to becoming a full-time photographer and a tutor Polina studied Art History at university, and then worked in several museums, galleries, and picture libraries. Her favorite photographic subjects are flower portraiture and still life. These days, in addition to her own hands-on photographic work she teaches photography and gives talks to various photo clubs and associations. She also hugely enjoys creating impressionistic landscape images and photographing collectible artisan ball-jointed dolls – unknown but fascinating photography subject.

Polina is also a Lensbaby Ambassador and a member of the judging panel for the Royal Horticultural Society’s Photographic Portfolio competition, as well as the Royal Photographic Society’s Distinctions panel in the Visual Art category.
