BIO
Iveta Lazdina is a fine art photographer from Latvia working between figuration and abstraction. Her photographic practice explores perception through images that move beyond the medium’s descriptive function toward perceptual experience — visual environments where clarity dissolves and feeling takes precedence.
Through layered imagery and shifting visual forms, Lazdina explores atmospheres shaped by memory, sensation, and emotional ambiguity.
She studied at the Photo Academy in Riga and has further developed her practice through international workshops and mentorships.
Her work has been featured in Lenscratch, ICM Photo Magazine, LeMag, and Dodho, and exhibited in group exhibitions internationally across the USA and Europe.
Her first photograph presented to a wider audience appeared at the Latvian Pavilion during Expo 2000 in Hannover. The image reflected an early interest in environmental change and responsibility, aligning with a period of growing ecological awareness within Latvia’s cultural landscape. This early public presentation became an important point of departure in the development of her photographic practice.
