Sinziana Velicescu
photographer / filmmaker
Sinziana Velicescu is a photographer and filmmaker based in Los Angeles, California. She is a graduate of the University of Southern California with a B.A. in Comparative Literature and Film. Her photography explores human intervention with nature in landscapes that have undergone political, social, or environmental change. By combining social documentary with careful composition, she produces a clean, uncluttered, and perhaps abstracted perception of reality, allowing viewers to find their own truth in each photograph.
She was among those awarded Life Framer’s Photography Prize 2016, participating in the traveling exhibit which included the venue Officine Fotografiche in Rome.
Her series On the Periphery is published by Aint-Bad, forward by Matthew Hong.
