MALVIE Magazine NOIR Spécial Édition Vol. 26 January 2021

Racism is antithetical to MALVIE's mission.

Racism is the act of discriminating or bullying someone due to their race or ethnicity. Racism comes in big and small forms, from name-calling and stereotyping to bullying and targeting. Racism is a big problem in our society and is affecting so many people internationally.

We share the deep sadness that so many are currently feeling and the upset at the injustices that lie at the root. Too many innocent people have lost their lives. Too many sickening murders, most recently that of George Floyd, attest to brutal and unjustified treatment.

While it’ll take us time to identify the highest-impact actions, we don’t want to wait to do anything. We made this special edition to showcase art which empowers black people and amplifies their voices. In the immediate term, we are going to donate proceeds to a local black led organization tackling racial injustice.

MALVIE won’t solve these problems alone. But we share the concern motivating so many others and would like to make crystal clear our support for building a society that solves these challenges, and where safety, security, and access to opportunity are properly accessible to all.

You are not alone. Nobody has any right to discriminate against you based on your race or ethnicity. Ever.

Marius Ciobanu Editor in Chief

Can you give us a bit of background on how your career evolved?

I started photography in 2007, because I wanted to do something with visuals. After attending school for photography, I started working at The Department of Defense and also as a freelancer to become the art/fashion/ glamour photographer I am today.

What's been the biggest highlight in your career so far? That would be a confidence shoot called "Queens", portraying plus-size women. That day was filled with a lot good vibes.

If you could say one thing to someone younger who looks up to you, what would you say? Good vibes will create a good outcome. So keep the good vibes at all times.

Using one word how would you describe your art?

" Lovejoyment " - The enjoyment of being creative and I just love when I'm creating a image that was first an idea.

Who is the person that inspires you the most and why? Everyone I shoot with inspires me for the shoot I build around them, but I have 2 muzes ; my brother in law who always gives me that extra and my wife (who is in this shoot ). She is my backbone and hype woman.

If you can have the power to share anything with the world, what would that be?

Positive vibes. I always try to stay positive in life and see the positive in things.

What are your goals for the near future and do you have any exciting project you want to share with us?

Creating artistic content for magazines, give the world of art fashion more diversity in beauty. A project is in the making, but I don't have a name for it yet. The theme will be "Empress" with lots off floating elements.

Before the pandemic I was a full time makeup artist and esthetician. I’ve been in the industry for 10 years doing everything from working in salons,to working on set. When the Covid started, the gears of the beauty industry came to a halt. The services that I provided, I could no longer do. So I became unemployed. I found myself with all this extra time on my hands. I decided that I needed a hobby to occupy my time. Photography was something that I have always loved, so I thought why not give it a shot. So I was able to save up for a camera during lock down. I started to play around with different types of photography, taking online photography courses and began to fine tune my editing skills. Now I am being booked for work and I am able to incorporate my experience as a HMUA into my shoots! It's a perfect fit.

What's been the biggest highlight in your career so far?

The biggest highlight of my career so far is my first ever magazine submission was accepted and published! That was such a big achievement and exciting moment!

If you could say one thing to someone younger who looks up to you, what would you say?

I would tell someone who looks up to me not to be afraid to go after their dreams. As cliche as it sounds, you really can do anything you set your time to. Make time to learn everything you can about what you love and never let anyone tell you that your dreams are too big!

Using one word how would you describe your art? Evolving

Who is the person that inspires you the most and why?

I would love to share with the world that though things are uncertain and a little tough right now, there are better things to come. But we can’t do it alone. We have to work at this together. We have to stay strong and know that there is light at the end of the tunnel. Love your neighbor.

If you can have the power to share anything with the world, what would that be?

Positive vibes. I always try to stay positive in life and see the positive in things.

What are your goals for the near future and do you have any exciting project you want to share with us?

My current goal is to use my art to help people feel great about themselves.
