Natalia Rifai's photostream  

Greetings from Russia, particularly Moscow!

My name is Natalia Rifai...

Very thankful to all who has sacrificed the time to comment (both good and/or bad) on my photographs. I try my best to return the favour as soon as I can :)
I encourage you all to leave comments on how I can improve...

Got into photography in 2002 (Athens) the traditional way. Didn't practice it since 2005 (London,) till 2009 (Moscow.) India was a trigger to fall in love with it all over again!
A DSLR changed the way I work. A SLR and a darkroom was too time consuming and budget heavy.

Although I'm a huge fan of macro photography, recently I discovered that I can do interesting portraits, sunsets, and present a different world! My world as seen through my eyes.

Truly said:
"The goal is not to change your subjects, but for the subject to change the photographer." ~Author Unknown

Hope my photos will bring joy and pleasant emotions as much as they do for me...
Enjoy!

Thank you for letting me join in.

All shots are accurately geotagged, so enjoy discoveries and your stay at the same spot.
