Petru Dimoff

Social documentary photographer based in Cluj-Napoca, Cluj, Transylvania, Romania. I discovered my passion for photography, in autumn of 1988. Photo done it occasionally before, but then I managed to buy my first camera with manual functions and I began to understand what really means photography. I did, along film period, mostly black and white photographs and colour too at various events, but to shoot people always attracted me. After film photography, it has developed the digital age and I was forced to keep up with the news. Time passed, and I began to do social documentary photography. I do not know exactly where the impetus came over me, but it charmed me, and I remained dedicated to this type of photography. I must admit, that even today, I still take pictures of other genres, but social documentary photography, remains on top for me because transmit the highest dose of collective emotion.
