I hardly hope to propose any answers to the question why my experimentations with photography are incessant. Rather, I seek to show that in my photos I try express my standpoint and the way I perceive the environment that surrounds me. I do believe that when you rid your mind of prejudies and unjustified beliefs, you began to observe the world not though a haze of distortions, but as a dynamic and diverse place you live in and coexist. My photos mirror my perspective of the Universe.

Your comments and opinions contributed a lot to increment of my passion for photography and now I love walking with my camera wherever I go. I appreciate your good and bad critiques that broaden my mind and allow me to see the things from the different perspective. That is a brilliant way to improve and to do my best (I am still learning).

I recall what Henri Cartier-Bresson once pointed out: "There is a creative fraction of a second when you are taking a picture. Your eye must see a composition or an expression that life itself offers you, and you must know with intuition when to click the camera. That is the moment the photographer is creative". This is that point I am looking for - a decisive moment to be captured, to be kept and, to be treasured.

Thank you very much for visiting my photo stream.

    "Iewa....a name that is like music to my ears and her photos are like jewels to my eyes....
    She is still so young, but she must be an 'old soul' with experience in looking at things and especially people in a very wise way!
    Her pictures reflect an intense love for people in their daily life.
    She moves me with her very personal style and great craftmanship!
    She likes to shoot in black and white, but even than the 'colour of life' shines even brighter than in colour!
    Iewa is always gentle and positive in her comments on photos of fellow photographers and I am always flattered by her comments on my pics!
    So dear Iewa....keep up your 'old' love for all that's important in life and I hope every day will shower you with love and warmth!
    Thanks for sharing our beautiful world!

    Lots of Love
    Gerie XX"

    "I first found Ieva for her street photography in a B&W gallery. Her imagery instantly stood out from the crowd to me in galleries that have a lot of high quality photography already. I love the style and mood of the photos she makes!
    She experiments with photography a lot, which is very refreshing. She enjoys it and gets great results which shine with her enthusiasm. Her eye for tone, form and composition are so good that they make me jealous and motivate me at the same time!!
    My only complaint is that she needs to do more street photography, she does it so well I just want more xD. Her software skills must be very good too, often I can't tell if her images have been modified. They must have been however because they're too good! =P
    I always look forward to seeing her new images, they just don't come often enough =). Thanks for sharing all your fantastic images!! and thank you for your comments and support!!
    Keep up the extremely stunning work!! =)"
