Ciprian Cenan – The Birthplace Story

Thanks to the courtesy and kindness of the team of Romanian photo Magazine FOTO4All, especially to Cristina Tinta (The Senior Editor), we have the honor to present some of the most eminent photographers from Romania.

Ciprian Cenan is an enthusiastic photographer from the village of Zau de Cîmpie, middle of Transilvania, Romania.

This is the place where he spent his childhood, a very picturesque place, where he discovers the beauty of living in the countryside. Years later, he tries to rediscover this place through photography.

In 2009, he discovers his passion for photography with the purchase of his first DSLR camera. He takes part at a few workshops together with well-known photographers from the country. This influences his approaches of various themes like: rural photography, landscape, abstract-minimal and portrait. He focuses on the rural area and surroundings but he also visits other areas from the country and from abroad.
