BSD Marcela "Ruty" Romero www.rutysoftphotographer.com Data about the Author I was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in 1968. Although for many years I worked in activities related to teaching, studied history and anthropology, Art was always present in my life from childhood. My academic learning is not far from Art, as I began to see the world through history and anthropology, its places and its people, and became conscious about what was happening around me, turned what I saw into drawings, handicraft or a picture . But those real moments were not enough, and I wanted to create my own reality, the virtual through Photoshop. Thus many of my works are a mixture of reality and unreality. I define myself mainly as autodidact in Art, and although I passed courses, my instruction was mainly the hours and hours with a pencil, hours and hours behind my camera and the many and many hours with my PC. Only in 1993 began my Art to be more than a hobby and become professional. Since 1998 I have my own studio: RutySoft Digital Art Photography. At present I live in Israel, in the city of Beer-Sheva since 2001. The most important photography contest for me and I still remember with great pleasure all I experienced was the HUMANITY PHOTO AWARDS organized by the UNESCO and the CHINA FOLKLORE PHOTOGRAPHIC ASSOCIATION. It was such a strong feeling, that I didnt think twice; I flew to see it with my own eyes and my camera and thus, on the first week in November 2004, I was there, in China, in the city of Guanghzou.
