Welcome to Lux Magica Photography! I'm thrilled to have you here and to share a little bit about myself and my journey in the world of photography.

Ever since I was a teenager, I knew that photography and graphic design were my passions. Growing up next door to a relative who was a photographer opened my eyes to the captivating world of studios and darkrooms. I was fascinated by the creative energy that surrounded his work.

My path led me to New York City, where I pursued my dreams of studying photography. Back then, the digital era was just beginning, so I dove into the art of shooting film and developing my own prints. It was an exhilarating experience, but life took its course, and I had to put my academic pursuits on hold.

Years later, I found myself in the vibrant city of Los Angeles, where I reignited my passion for photography. After two decades of life's twists and turns, I finally completed my photography degree at Santa Monica College. One of the proudest moments of my journey was when my professor likened my graduating portfolio to the pages of Vanity Fair.

As a lover of fashion and art, I draw inspiration from legendary photographers such as Richard Avedon, Helmut Newton, Irving Penn, and Annie Leibovitz. Their visionary work continues to shape and inspire my creative vision.

In my practice, I deeply resonate with Ansel Adams' profound belief that photography is more than just capturing images; it's about infusing each photograph with the depth of our experiences, emotions, and inspirations. It's about creating moments that resonate with authenticity and beauty.

Here at Lux Magica Photography, I strive to embody this philosophy in every photograph I capture. From fashion shoots to fine art portraiture, I believe in crafting images that tell stories, evoke emotions, and capture the essence of the moment.

Thank you for joining me on this journey of creativity, exploration, and expression. I look forward to creating magic together through the lens of Lux Magica Photography.

Warmest regards,

Theodora
