Teodora Pogonat is an award-winning, published fine art and portrait photographer. Born in Bucharest, Romania, and raised in Miami, she’s currently in Austin. Her photographic style is strongly influenced by the multi-cultural environment she grew up in, and from extensive domestic and international travel.

The photographer uses an actual 30 lb. pink 1967 British parachute throughout the series, to symbolize the struggles and gender issues women face throughout their lifetime.
