Vera Warnsing - Germany

Already as a child from young age Vera Warnsing was influenced by photography. Born in 1987 in the western part of Germany she got to know the photo camera as a constant companion from her father and grandfather. The evenings were spent with the whole family watching endless slide-shows.
After having her own camera it became much more interesting and she learned to enjoy the slide shows and started to discover her grandfathers dia-archive from over 50 years.
Fascinated by the medium and its possibilities she started to work as a photo reporter for a local newspaper with the age of 17. But that was not the way of photography she wanted. After graduating from school in 2007 she applied at an Art Academy in the Netherlands and got accepted.
Since then she took part in several exhibitions and workshops. She was nominated for the Dutch Photo Award and showed her work in the Photo museum in Rotterdam. In 2009 she joined the European Exchange Academy near Berlin. She also gives media art workshops in primary schools and enjoys to share her knowledge with children.
Vera is now in her final year of study and starts working for her graduation show which will be in Summer 2011.
