Lithuania
Renata, a Lithuanian photographer based in Malta, has called the island home for nearly 11 years. Her journey in photography began in childhood, capturing family, friends, and landscapes. What started as a hobby became her profession and passion 15 years ago.
With a deep love for the arts—music, dance, painting, and photography—Renata sees photography as a means of self-expression. She finds inspiration in people, places, and life's small details, using her Nikon to connect with the world. She believes a photographer must be open-minded, creative, observant, and, above all, passionate. Her goal is to create images that evoke emotion and stimulate thought, believing that a great photograph is not about expensive gear but about capturing soul and meaning.
Renata is a member of the Malta Institute of Professional Photography (MIPP), earning LMIPP certification in 2014 and AMIPP in 2019. She holds a certification in Portraiture from the New York Institute of Photography. Her work has received multiple awards, including recognition from the Malta Tourism Authority, MIPP, and international photography competitions. She has also been featured in Camerapixo magazine and the FocalPoint newsletter, winning numerous Gold, Silver, and Bronze awards in portraiture, abstract, black & white, architecture, and landscapes.
