Discover the contemporary work of Vika N
As an emerging photographer, I explore the world of emotion through striking black and white, sometimes color, shots. Although my journey in photography began recently, in August 2024, my artistic approach is deeply rooted in a long-standing passion for visual art.
Trained by the experienced Raskal Buck, a photographer for over 40 years, I am preparing to enrich my know-how through several specialized training courses. This support has allowed me to develop a sensitivity unique in my compositions, capturing the human in its most natural and expressive dimension.
Inspired by photography icons such as Lee Miller and my mentor Raskal Buck, I aspire to create images that convey raw and authentic emotions. Through each shot, I seek to share stories, revive memories and touch the soul of those who contemplate my works.
Artistic Philosophy:
“And a good photograph consists precisely in capturing a person not when they are unconscious, but when they are most natural.” — Lee Miller
Future Projects: Determined to become an accomplished artist, I wish to share my growing passion for photography with a wider audience, by multiplying artistic experiences and encounters.
Vika N's artistic approach
My artistic approach is based on the quest for authenticity and emotion through photography. Each shot is for me an attempt to capture the essence of the moment, of the human, and to reveal stories hidden behind a look, a gesture or an expression.
I prefer black and white because it allows me to focus on the essential: contrasts, textures, and above all, the intensity of emotions. This absence of color creates a certain timelessness, allowing the viewer to connect deeply with the image without distraction, and to focus on the soul of the subject.
My main inspirations, Lee Miller and Raskal Buck, taught me that photography is not just about capturing an image: it is a means of transmitting a message, freezing emotions, and awakening memories. I seek to explore the complexity of human feelings — joy, melancholy, loneliness or tenderness — and to render them with sincerity.
Photography is for me a silent exchange. Behind every shot, there is a story, an emotion, a connection between the subject and me. I want my photos to resonate in the mind of the viewer, inviting them to feel, reflect, or remember.
Vision and message
My goal is simple: to share true emotions. Whether it is through a smile or a tear, I want my photographs to be a mirror of the human condition, in all its beauty and complexity.
