Reportage Photography — School in Romania, commissioned by EBRD
This photography project took me to St. George School in Craiova — the first Romanian city to join EBRD Green Cities. The newly renovated school now features solar panels, improved insulation, cleaner air systems and brighter, modern classrooms, creating an environment where students and teachers feel genuinely inspired.
My aim was to capture this renewed energy through candid portraits, authentic moments in classrooms and corridors, and the infectious excitement of playtime. Speaking zero Romanian, I relied on the universal language of Rock, Paper, Scissors to connect with the children! It was fifteen minutes of laughter, colour and joyful chaos all framed by vibrant murals painted by some former pupils.
