Maria Plotnikova / Russia

“Born in 1984 in Moscow. Studied Philology in Moscow State Pedagogical University. During the studies I started working as a photographer, gradually led to my favorite genre, the sport photography. In 2006−2010 I worked exclusively as a sport photographer in the various media of Moscow (Izvestiya, Novaya Gazeta, TASS, Sport Day by Day). In 2007 I completed a one-year photojournalism course at Moscow State University. The result of this work in sport photography was a number of awards in Russian photojournalism contests. In 2010 my husband and me moved to Buenos Aires, then to Sao Paulo, Brazil. In Latin America, I became a freelance artist and got interested in the genre of street photography. Having the opportunity to travel around the continent, for two years now, I don’t stop to shoot in search of my own style of street photography. In 2012 I was short-listed in the London Festival of photography and became a finalist of the Moscow Festival of street photography. Since 2012 I’m a member of the Street Photographers international collective. Winner of a portfolio review of the Festival of Light (Buenos Aires).”
