one under the sun's photostream |
"Just living is not enough. ... One must have sunshine, freedom and a little flower."--Hans Christian Andersen


My journey into to the world of photography begun in August of 2008 when a friend of mine who is a photographer looked at my pictures. He liked them and encouraged me to try more. Shortly after I joined Flickr and I discovered that photography is my passion and my addiction.
Nature comes to me in the easiest way. I do not have to think about composition or framing... I just let Nature "fall" into my lens.
I need to improve my portrait skills...who knows...I may even start a 365 project one day...
I started with a Sony Cybershot point and shoot that gave me many great memories and photographs.
I upgraded to Canon 50D and shoot with 17-85mm (f/4-5.6) and 50mm (f/1.8). I have also tried 200mm (f/2.8) and 135 (f/2.0) and played with extension tubes.
I am forever thankful to my wonderful friends for their support-moral and physical :-) - lending their gear, helping with photoshoots, constructive criticism, lessons and tutorials, links, chats and most of all for their belief in me.
If you like my pictures, and would like to use them, please ask my permission first. I would most likely say yes! Even if you want to blog about my pics, I would like to know! You can either send me a Flickr mail or email me at glugla@hotmail.com.
Unfortunately, if you comment or fave my pictures, and you do not have any photos in your stream nor can I read about you in your profile, I will block you. I am sorry to say that, I simply want to know about you and why you like/dislike my art. So please, do not hide. And do not steal my images...
Thank you so much for stopping by, and for your visits, comments and invitations in my stream!
My best wishes to all of you!
Iza

"One Under The Sun is one -of- a- kind artist. Through her images, whether with an elaborate composition or simply an extract of minimalism, she touches the core of our souls and captures our imagination. She is also a charming, creative and unfailing link between nature and our inner selves. She has intimately invited mother nature back into our overly complex modern life.
I am neither a profound writer, nor a native English speaker, and therefore, will not be able give Izabela the testimonial she rightfully deserves. However, with how I feel when viewing her photography and who I am after regaining myself, I have become an instant and unconditional fan.
Humbly speaking, I do not attempt to make a grand speech about Izabela, just a few words of admiration and appreciation for her talent and artistic contributions. Hope I have made some sense as she does not need further elaboration. Her works speak for themselves. Regards."21st December, 2009

"Iza is one of the most inspiring photographers i've come across on flickr. her work consistently amazes me. her flickr name couldn't be more appropriate. nobody handles light and nature with such finesse and artistry as she and her captions are always thought provoking and full of universal truths. additionally, Iza is an amazingly supportive and generous soul. always a good word for her fellow photographers.
in other words, she's the whole package. talent, beauty (both in front of and behind the camera) and true kindness. i feel lucky to have come across her stream and i look forward to every new work of art she creates. if you haven't, do yourself a favor and visit her stream. then do it again..."28th October, 2009

"One under the sun, the one with the golden touch.
This stream is without a doubt one of my most favorites.
Nature, people, city life, still life - captured in her own unique, mindful, delicate way, self portraits revealing her beauty and words offering literary and spiritual relief.
It is a great privilege to learn from and inspired by this wonderful woman artist photographer.
Thank you,
Galia."31st July, 2009

"I learn from her photostream on every visit. Her use of color, lighting, bokeh, space and focus inspires me. She creates superb imagery from angles, perspectives and subjects I would never think of. I admire her work because each image is refreshingly unique and creative. Spend some time in her photostream and you'll be amazed!"

"one under the sun is not only a photographer, she is an artist!
Her work is wonderfully creative, unique, and often surprising.
She shows us the beauty of the ordinary, the wonder of the mundane, and has a talent for combining words and images that capture the imagination and stir the emotions.
She is one under the sun - in name and disposition! I appreciate her warmth and friendliness and feel privileged to count her a Flickr friend."10th May, 2009

"In many of these pictures, the shutter button is not pressed by the finger, but by the heart.
Evocative, ethereal and possessing a quiet power that is so difficult to convey.
Images of quite stunning natural beauty are married with words which only serve to bring those images closer to us. Simplicity is a virtue disregarded by many, though it is given primacy here.
The simple speaks eloquently. These images speak to us softly, as if leaning over to whisper, but the echo of their meaning and universal truth remains.
A wonderful stream to get lost in.

"Always a delight and the highlight of my flickr day seeing what she has uploaded and reading the comments she has left behind. Simply, one in a million. Her work sets itself apart from the rest with the absolute depth and story telling that lies within each capture.
I can go on, but... will take up a lot of space!
Honored to have you on my contact list! :)

"She has a heart of gold that is evident in all her images. She captures still moments and brings them to life with imaginative descriptions that are always so cheerful, the viewer can't help but to daydream and reminisce of their childhood, when all was innocent and oh so new and fresh. Browsing her photostream is like lying down against the grass on a summer day, looking up and forming shapes from the white puffs in the sky. You’ll never want to get your head out of the clouds!"

"Her name should be *fabulous*_one_under_the_sun! Because that's what she and her art really are...
She has an amazing eye for the *IT* shot -- all of her shots have *IT*... go ahead and look through her stream and see for yourelf.
What she creates are true works of art, opening a window into the world as she sees it -- and it's a beautiful, insightful, poignant, fun, surprising, serendipitous, and (most of all) sunny place. Make sure to read her captions and replies as well... she's got things to say, and they are all relevant and life-affirming and good. I feel privileged to be able to see her creations, and even more privileged to be counted among her friends on Flickr."5th December, 2008
