    About Me
Andrei Calangiu (Sangiorzboy)
Bucharest, RO

I am one of the admins here since 2005 and i'm also in charge with training most of our new editors.

I started drawing, like any kid, but found support for that throughout my childhood and eventually went to an art college where i specialized in graphics.

I started studying the photographic phenomena at the University of Fine Arts Bucharest, where i pursued photography as my main media and got in contact with contemporary photography and new media.

Apart from doing this fulltime job, i am focusing on personal projects that i hope to share soon.
