Famous photoartists of the world, 2008-2011
Tania D'Avignon Exhibition, Newton, USA

Tania D’Avignon uses her camera to freeze moments. Her friendly, easygoing, yet respectful interest in photographing people relaxes them and enables her to capture their true character. Tania’s artistic nature and quick eye keep her sensitive to the surrounding environment. She is constantly observant of nature on its grand scale, as well as in its fine details, and records it for posterity. The resulting photographs are neither static and grandiose, nor strained. She captures unbridled life in all its manifestations. People communicate emotions, be it a look, a smile, a gesture. Nature emerges as poetry of color and form and makes us want to take another look at what we have missed.

She graduated from Maryland Institute, College of Art with a degree in Art and Photography. Tania has worked for Allyn and Bacon Publishers, Harvard Chair of Ukrainian Studies, National Geographic Magazine, Time-Life Publishers and International Institute of Boston.
