Hello everyone! I’m Dina (also known as Malni). My first DSLR which I bought in October 2009 was Canon 450D. What a joyful day that was!

In 2010 I completed an online photography course, which took me only four months instead of six (I was so keen on learning!) and immersed myself into the world of digital photography.

At first I was doing live music and band photography for a short period of time and later I switched to stock photography. These days my stock photos can be found all over the internet.

Taking photos for stock taught me a lot, but also put a big restriction on the artistic side of me, so I’m trying to balance it out.

Since May 2014 I own Canon 70D and I just love my new camera!

I’m very keen on challenging myself and learn something new. These days it's food and portraits. I prefer to shoot in manual mode + RAW. Also I like to shoot tethered to my computer or tablet as seeing photos on a bigger screen helps a lot.

Unfortunately I don’t know any photographers in real life, that’s why I’m here, to find friends who share my passion.

I would love to hear your opinion about my images. I equally value positive comments as well as helpful criticism.
