About Alina

Photographer, artist, curator, advocate for creativity, teacher, mentor and speaker. 

"My work is a search for harmony in chaos through those universal, timeless human qualities that reach beyond location, gender and social background.”

 

Children of Vision encourages creative self-expression and empowers young people to use photography to show their unique vision of the world.

This project was inspired by my experience of photographing children with impaired vision. Observing how creativity can be used in extraordinary ways to overcome challenges lead to this international photography platform for young people from all over the world.
