What does a photographer do in times of social distancing and isolation?

By now most of us have been in isolation/ social distancing for at least a while now. The government measures here began about a month ago and since all my work engagement ceased at the same moment, my isolation began effectively. As a portrait/ architecture photographer, meeting new people and going new places were big "no no"s in the given situation, so I have had to find ways in which to keep on being productive during this time.

Short winter break

Let me begin by saying- I am not a winter person. Snow is a nah, winter sports are a definite no. However, I do like to keep active during winter as well, so whenever I get the chance I try to go to a thermal spa nearby. This winter that break came early, and we... Continue Reading →

Day trip to Mavrovo

Last year we went on a day trip to Mavrovo to enjoy the fresh air, amazing autumn scenery and lovely food at least for a day. The snow wasn't on the ground, so the autumn leaves were in full bloom, and it was spectacular to witness. I'm not a specially gifted landscape photographer, but here it's really difficult to miss a shot.

Why don’t we like ourselves in photographs?

Last month, I was hired to take portraits of a the employees of a company in Skopje (something I often do). The people were young, nice and attractive, but were in no way models or experienced in front of a camera- except for their selfie cameras. As the shooting went on, they kept finding flaws in their pictures and wanted to retake them, but all I wanted to tell them was how nice their smile was, or how great their hair looked, or how flawless their skin was- but kept most of it to myself so that they didn't think that I wanted to get off easy

City escape- Vienna

The summer has already finished, and I still haven't finished writing about my vacation (dropped the ball on that one, didn't I?). However, since it's a city escape, and the city at hand is Vienna, summer does not have to be the only season to visit it.

City escape- Bratislava pt.2

I wanted to dedicate the second part of the Bratislava photo blog to the modernist and socialist modernist architecture and sights of the city. Which were plenty! And they blended in very nicely with the older parts of the city in almost an indistinguishable way. I loved it! If you're a fan of this era... Continue Reading →

City escape- Bratislava pt.1

It's been well over a month since I came back from holiday, but as luck (and retrograde Mercury) would like it, procrastination was my main motto. However, the time came to write about my last trip, and the first destination was the city of Bratislava, Slovakia. This was my first time in Slovakia completely, so... Continue Reading →

The Skopje Aqueduct

As the spring holidays rolled in a group of friends and I had a few days off work, and we wanted to make the best of them. But, the weather wasn't very nice, and a few of us had some health issues so instead of going some place exotic (out of city bounds), we decided... Continue Reading →
