Cari’s work can be seen at: www.carifaye.com
Cari Faye Antonovich in a portrait photographer living in Casper Wyoming. She was born in 1992 and homeschooled until she attended college at the age of 15. Always wanting to photograph people but afraid, her professor, Mr Keogh, encouraged her to start taking self portraits as means to build her confidence. After graduating, she opened her first portrait studio in downtown Casper, and hasn't stopped taking photographs since.
Antonovich's work is highly influenced by music. She explores ideas of surrealism in portraiture, based on lyrics that she connects with. She was formally taught film in college, but her digital work is entirely self taught. Her style is characterized by artful storytelling themes, that are unique and hauntingly beautiful. Cari loves to photograph people at all stages of life.
