| Maria from a Little Gypsy in My Soul |
As a well travelled photographer,
Maria from Little Gypsy in my Soul captures the vibrant energy of ethnic communities and brings the everyday to life in her photography. And as a stallholder selling at the markets, she enjoys a successful business brand selling her images to an ever-changing passin crowd at Sydney Local Markets each weekend.
Here's an excerpt from a recent interview...
Maria shares that her images provoke people into sharing their own their
travel stories, and how some people feel awkward taking images when
they are on holiday – returning as you do with a catalogue of
meaningless wide angle landscapes or cut in half statues instead of
capturing the actual moment and personal feel of the destination. A Little Gypsy in My Soul
certainly captures the essence of place that travel opens inside you – I
can imagine customers appropriating one of Maria’s pieces as a
touchstone for their own travel story. And this is essentially what
handmade and unique pieces bring to people who shop at the markets – a
personal story embedded in a object – something quite out of the
ordinary.
