Bio

  • Country: Brazil

I am Marcia Celjar, a Brazilian street photographer that lives in Rio de Janeiro. My interest in Photography began at a very young age and I have been in love with it ever since. It helped me in my work as a Fashion Designer and more recently as a Landscape Designer. Street photography became an art therapy when I stopped working because of healthy issues and has lately given me the opportunity to travel, take part in Photo Walks with friends and work as a moderator in streetphotography hubs like @dreaminstreets @streetphotographybrazil and @mystreet_women. While on the streets i look for candid moments, interesting compositions, light and shadows, silhouettes and daily life scenes that tell stories.
