Samantha Kandinsky is a young fashion photographer from Croatia, living and working in Ljubljana, where she graduated from the Faculty of Natural Science and Engineering – Graphics and Media Technology department.
Growing up in a small Istrian town called Labin, she was deeply influenced by the working-class culture of the early post-communist era which reflects in her work till the present. Her artistic expression is very intense, combined with a variety of different approaches and techniques she uses to reveal herself in her photos. Her work covers a wide range of topics such as gender-fluid identities, artists personal. Her first mentor – Narcisa Adalgisa Skopac left quite a few significant marks in Samanthas work, one of the most important ones being heavy use of bright colours. Moving to a big, liberal, and vibrant city of Ljubljana helped her discover a wider world of gender-fluid identities which represents an important element in her work. Her art is filled with contrasts, unexpected twists and turns, with surprising outcomes and profound yet subtle story and a deeper meaning.
With this editorial photographer is experimenting with ways to escape the quarantine to come closer to people though change is inevitable.
