Doll Maker
Barbara Markoff – Art Consultant, Fine Art Photographer and Owner of Artageous and Barbara Markoff Special Recognition Award panelist in Manhattan Arts HerStory online art competition
“As a world-traveler, Sandra Belitza-Vazquez seizes upon the opportunity to embrace and document women’s diverse roles in their culture, society, and economic standing through the lens of her camera. With her photograph titled “Doll Maker,” Sandra captures a ‘slice of life’ depicting her female subject performing the highly intricate craft of doll making. Not only does the image convey purpose and information, additionally, the photograph is visually stunning and harmoniously balanced, drawing its viewer into the doll maker’s world. Sandra’s use of texture, color, and lighting is impeccable. As a fellow photographer, I am emotionally moved by her artistic eye and top notch technique. Approaching this emotionally charged scene in Sandra’s travels drove her to pause, compose, and record. The result is a strong and beautifully executed color photograph that I admire on many levels, thus I am honored to present my award to Sandra.”
Markoff adds, “Sandra’s website features an extraordinary and diverse portfolio of photographic imagery. Her photographs strike me as unique and perfectly suited for healthcare settings. As an art consultant, I look forward to the possibility of placing her healing images in healthcare environments.”
