Oana M. Baković is a contemporary fine art photographer celebrated for her profound connection with wild, often endangered flora, and the dynamic essence of nature. Born in the port city of Constanta on the shores of the Black Sea, her work transcends the mere aesthetic, delving into the intrinsic beauty and ecological significance of flowers and plants. By capturing them in their natural habitats, Baković reveals their soul, emphasizing the delicate balance and uniqueness of their existence. Driven by a deep-seated fear of humanity's growing disconnect from nature, she seeks to highlight the overlooked beauty that surrounds us. Her art focuses on 'nature's flaws,' eschewing artificial enhancements except for the strategic use of flashlights to illuminate nature's intricate microcosms. Often working during magic hours, she explores diverse angles and light conditions, incorporating wind-driven motions and experimental techniques like bubbles and subtle camera movements. Baković’s photography is a testament to the resilience and fragile beauty of the natural world.
