Silver Queen

Photography

Lately I've been pairing up with hair/make-up people and doing fashion photoshoots. W25 magazine has just published one of such collaborations in their May issue, so did the Sessions magazine. The series is called "Saturated". For this particular series -"Silver Queen" - I also handcrafted the costume.

Artist Residency

I'm also happy to inform you that I'll be spending the month of September 2013 in a remote ranch 7,500 feet above the sea level in Wyoming as an artist in residency. This is an award, given to selected artists to spend several weeks in a quiet retreat, where they can concentrate on their projects without usual distractions. This is the second time I'm receiving such an award. The previous one was in 2011, where I spent 3 weeks in a beautiful KHN Center for the Arts in Nebraska.
Era in Green

"Era in Green"

Received an Honourable Mention at the New York Centre for the Photographic Art this year.

Misc

This website has finally got it new look! In a mean time, I've taken part in the art challenge "The Noise Project", where participants are invited to submit their responses to the given sound task. Three of my video responses could be found here. Also, back in winter I've been interviewed by Ottawa-based Liana Voia. Our conversation could be found here.


Sincerely, 
Nika Belianina
