Founder of 'The Creative Plug Cymru Gallery, Editor-in-chief at the Alienated Magazine Wales, Fashion & Beauty Photographer, Creative Practitioner & Director.
Welcome to my world, my name is Sharon Kostini you don't know me yet but you won't forget me. I enjoy creating visual stories that communicate fashion and art uniquely and explore cultural connections that introduce and challenge different narratives & perspectives to my audience. The intersection of fashion and art is a powerful force for creative expression and can be used to tell meaningful stories that promote inclusivity and diversity. This is an important role that fashion & art can play in our society, as they can make change and shape lives through their connection to us all.
I have a deep appreciation for the art of editorial photography and this allows me to express myself creatively in the moment. Editorial photography is more than a profession for me, it's a way of living in the moment and understanding how trends evolve and transition into a different market. Pushing the boundaries and staying up-to-date with the latest fashion trends and market movements, as well as having a keen eye for detail and a strong understanding of composition through visual storytelling.
I believe when fashion & art collide a new way of telling a story manifest through trends and photography.My most proud commissioned work can be found here:
