Nicolae Pop Photography

I always enjoyed arts. .. especially music. I remember growing up in Romania, standing up in front of the elders and singing. In fact, when I graduated high school, I went on to study music; at first in Romania, then in the United States. I ended up with a Doctorate Degree in Voice Performance, a Masters in the same area, and two Bachelor Degrees.

While in school, I met my future wife. I loved being with her and so I picked up a camera to immortalize some of the moments we spent together. I learned that I enjoyed taking pictures of people. Capturing emotion and true reactions gave me a sense of accomplishment and enjoyment.

As the years went by, I began studying photography and started photographing events, but I was always drawn to portraits and people's faces.

Today I do what I love.
