ABOUT
Hello! I am Diana Serban, a certified Climate-Aware photographer and Brand Director based in London.
My work explores themes like constructed realities, climate change, and mental health and has been included in several exhibitions across the UK and Europe. I am currently examining the complex relationships between people, possessions, and space, focusing on the material and emotional traces left in the remnants of a family home in Southeast Romania.
I have extensive experience in branding and communications within the third sector, having worked with local communities and charitable organizations in the UK for the past nine years.
Previously, I managed media and advertising campaigns for brands including Vodafone, General Motors, Philips, Red Cross, Mercedes, and many more.
Battlegrounds19 is my playground for visual exploration.
Thank you for taking the time to look at my work!
