About Tatsiana Siadova

Tatiana Sedova was born in 1971 in Minsk, BSSR.
She developed an interest in photography while living in Belgium in 2014.
She started her education in commercial photography courses and continued at the Fine Arts Academy in Antwerp, which she completed in 2018. The theme of her diploma project was "Hustle and Bustle," which included portraits and still lives.
Three years later, she completed a specialization course, where she further honed her photography skills and became passionate about film photography. The theme of her second diploma project was "Loneliness," which featured diptychs: portrait + landscape, portrait + still life. The portraits were captured with a digital camera, while the landscapes and still lives were taken with film and polaroid cameras.
In January 2019, she participated in a master class on the collodion process led by Hans de Kort.
Currently, Tatiana continues her education at the Fine Arts Academy in the cross over course and continues to experiment with images captured on various film cameras manufactured from 1929 to 1997.
Tatiana personally develops films and print the photographs. Additionally, she prepares the surface of the paper or fabric herself for printing certain photos.
In her artistic practice, Tatiana also utilizes the technique of cyanotype.
Tatiana keeps up with modern technology as well – she enjoys using a projector for creative studio shoots.
