Thanks to all of the amazing photographers that submitted to The Female Fotographers first call for entries. We have many upcoming calls for submissions, so please share the news and this group with your friends and family.

Please join us in congratulating Teresa Zafon, from Barcelona, Spain. She is the winner of the The Female Fotographers Icon Contest. Teresa's work is diverse with a focus on editorial and portraiture. This featured image is from her studies of dance in motion. Photographing started early for Teresa at 14 and continued when she received her first reflex camera at 19. Her camera never leaves her side, as people, landscapes, streets and life inspire her. Four years ago, she took the leap to digital and has been photographing seriously ever since. Her extensive portfolio showcases her travels, experiences and the depth of human emotion.

Teresa takes some time to answer a few questions for us.

FF: Where is your favorite place to photograph?
TZ: Any place where my feelings and emotions are stirred by beauty, diversity, or soul can be good for me to photograph.


FF: What has been your most treasured experience photographing?
TZ: I had quite a few, but photographing the Namibia Desert and Kolmanskop Ghost Town, in the same country, I think it has been the most treasured experience. A place which I’d love to visit again some day.

FF: Who has been the strongest influence on your work?
TZ: Many different photographers. Just to mention some of them: Cartier Bresson, Richard Avedon, Ansel Adam. I love B&W photography.


FF: Do you have any upcoming exhibitions, publications or anything you would like to share with the public?
TZ: In March, this year, I had an exhibition of my Cuba pictures in Barcelona, and the same one is on now, until July 11, in another town close to Barcelona. That’s all for now. Hoping I can have some more soon.

Thank you and congratulations Teresa. Please see more of her work here: http://www.teresazafon.com/
