Summer shoots
Roberta Baneviciene uses natural warm summer light for stunning portraits
Roberta is an awardwinning fine art photographer, based in the UK. Her journey into portraiture started with her own children 10 years ago, and she works exclusively with natural light.
Roberta is influenced by her children, and by the light and colours she finds outdoors. Her children’s portraits resemble a fairytale with gorgeous lighting and vivid background. Roberta picks the most amazing backgrounds that nature has to offer and believes that the fewer props there are, the better.
In her portraits, Roberta likes to look into the eyes of her subjects and see their soul, and that’s why she likes to capture thoughtful expressions rather than huge smiles. Her favourite subjects to photograph are children: their innocence and genuine emotions are the main reason for that.
Roberta was recently named as a winner in the outdoor category of a prestigious photography show in the UK. She has won various awards, such as SWPP, Masters Portraits and LensCulture. Her work has been featured in numerous international photography publications. For the last five years, Roberta has trained many photographers from all over the world, and she is a regular speaker at global photographers events such as Baby and Kids Argentina and Brazil, and the Newborn Photography Show.
Roberta’s aim is to create timeless, emotive and vibrant images, using only natural light and natural elements as her props.
