Lara Swift portfolio

I am 19 years old, born and live in Berlin (Ger). I spend a lot of time in Istanbul and at the age of 16 eight months in Paris.
I love languages and speak besides german also turkish, english and french.

Education: In June 2008 I finished my german and french high school diplomas as well as my latinum. 2008/2009 I want to study medicine in Berlin as genetics and neurobiologies are interesting me the most.

About Art: Art is a passion and I am working as freelance photographer, journalist and designer for several projects (see the listing below). Although I am not making a living from art, I am working on a professional level on it and had the chance to work with very interesting and prominent people from musician to politician.

Service: I am developing logo designs and concepts, website designs, coding & installation, illustrations for CD and book covers and the like. I am also offering photo retouching and restauration as well as photoshootings. To cut it short - i love every artistic challenge. My artwork is also licencable, for further information please contact me.

I am self-thought and still go this way to develop my own ideas and style.
