Ugne, a Lithuanian fine art photographer, has been based in London since 2010. With a science degree in photography, her journey began in fashion photography before transitioning to still life, where she found a deeper resonance in timeless expression. Ugne’s work in black and white film, primarily using a large format camera, reflects her fascination with the intricate beauty of botanicals and the ethereal qualities of natural light.
Her photographic practice emphasizes minimal subject isolation, revealing the delicate intricacies of nature through monochromatic light. Driven by an unconventional approach, Ugne embraces the expression of abstract beauty, pushing boundaries in her creative process. In her studio, she develops and prints limited edition collections, highlighting the tactile experience of physical prints in an increasingly digital world.
Ugne’s art invites contemplation of nature's fragility and complexity, encouraging viewers to connect with the profound beauty that transcends cultural boundaries.
