Fine art photographer Bella Kotak on the Be Inspired Photography Podcast.
 
In this week’s show, we chat to fine art photographer Bella Kotak about finding inspiration in nature, leaving a career in architecture and finding your lens’ sweet spot.
 
Bella Kotak’s Bio:
 
Bella Kotak is a fine art and fashion photographer currently based in Oxford & London, England.  An art lover from a young age she always knew that she would work within the creative industry.  Photography changed her life when she picked up a camera and began a 365 project on Flickr. From that moment she was hooked by this medium that translates thoughts and imagination into tangible form.  Inspired by fairytales, nature and strong feminine characters Bella's pictures lift the veil of the overlooked and reminds us that there's magic in the most ordinary of spaces.
