Hello! Thanks for visiting! My name is Marina Bartolec. I strive to shoot the moments in life you don't want to miss. As an artist I get the opportunity to meet new people and even reunite with those who I may not have seen for a while. I am one who sees the beauty in all things and can only hope to show you a glimpse of that through each and every photograph.

Just your average 4'10" photographer, fasinated by emotion, and precise details. In my spare time you will find me shooting macro shots or pumping iron at a nearby gym. I have been blessed with so many opportunities! The biggest one yet has been getting to be a student in the Center for Media Arts Digital Photography Program. This has allowed me to achieve multiple awards: a Scholastic Art & Writing Silver Key and 2nd place in Native Wildlife photography from the Lexington Soil and Water Conservation District. I have been able to branch out and work to find my style as an artist and I hope one day I get the opportunity to share this with you!
