About the Photographer:

Adrian Nastase is “a natural” at photography. His father was an amateur photographer and his brother is a professional commercial photographer.  Adrian’s uses his expertise as a photo-journalist and studio photographer to create portraits and to document important events.  He was born and raised in Bucharest, and moved to Chicago in 1994.  Adrian graduated from Columbia College, where he was awarded the prestigious Weisman scholarship for his photography – and later was selected to serve as a judge.  He works out of a shared loft studio in the West Loop in Chicago.  His studio loft reflects the artistry of his work.

Artist Statement:

“ It amazes me when I hear some of the stories people have to tell.  I use photography, rather than words, to pass on the stories I have heard.  People’s ethnic heritage has always fascinated me, and my photography reflects my interest in the multi-cultural world.  I see in the photographs how valuable our different traditions are - in a Korean-American wedding ceremony or a Jewish bar or bat mitzvah.
There is a story behind each photograph.  I would like to help you to read that story without intruding.  I try to reveal the unique character of each person I photograph.”
