CATALIN CROITORU is a regular contributor photojournalist at Lens Magazine since 2015. In his resume, you will find exclusive interviews with some of the most influential photographers in the world, including Daniel W. Coburn (Magnum photographer), Luvelli, Charles Peterson, Lindsay Adler, Giovanni Capriotti, and Nicole Small, amongst others. "In 2005 I decided to leave everything behind and to move to Canada. That was an ABSOLUTE ZERO for me: new people, no friends or relatives, two new (or almost new...) languages, different habits. Because of the languages barriers I felt myself restrained and unable to communicate properly my thoughts with the others.

That was the moment when I decided to express myself through the images I was taking. They used to say that a photo is "worth a thousand words"; but I really think it is a language as well. When you feel crippled and the words limit you, just grab a camera: it will open for you a new horizon and a new life!"
