Mobile Photography & Art – Portrait of an Artist – Seeing Through The Eyes Of Anca Balaj

11/12/201811/12/2018 by Ile Mont

We are delighted to bring to you the twelfth in our brand new series of interviews within our Portrait of an Artist column entitled “Seeing through the eyes…”. This is a section that has been created by our wonderful Portrait of an Artist Editor, Ile Mont. Mont has been inspired by the life and works of Carolyn Hall Young, as so many of us have. Young was the main contributor to our Portrait of an Artist Flickr pool and filled it with portraits of so many wonderful people, not only of herself. It is for this reason that Mont wanted to create this section, to enable us to view the artists style through their own eyes. At the end of each interview, Mont will keep Young’s tradition alive, with a portrait of herself, seen through the eyes of the artist. In this case, you will see that at the end of this interview there is a portrait of Mont, seen through the eyes of Anca Balaj, what a gift!

Please continue to post your mobile portraiture to our dedicated Flickr group, this way, Mont will search through these artists first to interview. (Foreword by Joanne Carter).

The purpose of this challenge is to dwell in the magical world within, where we can be a character, a dream, an idea or an illusion.

Dates for submission are from September 26th through November 10th, 2018.

Please read the following instructions:

All submissions must be posted ONLY to our specific Portrait of an Artist Flickr Challenge group – link here.

Not to any other group from TheAppWhisperer. You will be able to add them to any other group of your choice after the challenge is over and the showcase presented.
