Maria Bejmowicz-Szemplinska has a Professional Photography Certificate from Sheridan College in Oakville, ON. She had her solo exhibit picturing people at Mississauga Arts Center and has shown her work in many group exhibits in Greater Toronto. Maria often participates in contests, winning them from time to time. Her photography was published in "Photo Life", "Macleans", "Soaring" Magazine, "Free Flight" Magazine, some regional and local newspapers, and brochures. She produced a calendar with her photographs about the sport of soaring and 3 photo DVDs from soaring contests.
Marias favourite style is photojournalism and documentary, but she is interested in landscape, fashion, and art photography as well. Her main subjects are people. She shows them mostly in classical portraits, environmental portraits, at all lifes actions, catching them in their most revealing moments. Her peoples photography is a true and honest depiction of their feelings and thoughts. Their very humanity is seen in their gestures and facial expressions, in their unforgettable eyes. In contrast, Marias fashion and art photography likes the mystery and fantasy and often includes some intriguing signs and symbols, giving the viewer a chance for their own interpretation of her visual ideas. Richness of colours and patterns she uses helps to make a lasting visual impact on the viewer.
