  • Anna Bodnar

    Anna Bodnar

    Bodnar was born in 1982 in Poland. She’s a philologist and a computer graphic artist. Presently, Bodnar is a joint owner of an advertising agency. Since March 2008 she is also a member of an Association of Polish Art Photographers, and from 1 January 2011 member of Royal Photographic Society.

    Visual art has always interested Bodnar; according to her, it shows more than words can ever do. Throughout the years, Bodnar has been looking for different artistic ways of expressing herself. She sees photography as a method to understand herself; to understand other people. Her usual sources of inspiration are her day-to-day life and literature. Bodnar’s work and art expresses who she is and therefore, she is very emotional about it. She uses regular photos, as well as different processing software programs for her graphic works.
