Fine Art

Wait for the light, and photography will happen.

Nature

I shoot wildlife. Mostly birds. And other chance encounters with various critters.

Sports

It's the sweat. The effort. The many injuries. It's team spirit and the hard preparation that takes you there.

About

Catalin Sandu appeared on the Toronto photography scene out of nowhere, taking everyone by surprise including himself. He’s actually still in recovery.

Catalin is the type of person who thinks that an artist’s statement is something you give to a police officer when you get a speeding ticket. So far he managed not to get any such tickets, mostly because he doesn’t drive.

Consequently, he’s still working on his first artist statement. His personal motto is, "your best photo is always the next one."
