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 →
Whose text are you waiting for?
Around December, when I finally got the time to edit my photographs from Rome, I realized that I had taken a lot of street portraits of people looking at their phones. Sure, they may have been tourists looking for directions, but my first thought was that nowadays we always look at our phones hoping to... Continue Reading →
Spring and blossoms
It's that time of year again- spring! I can't really decide if I like spring or autumn more, but in any case, both are very scenic times for nature. There is always one week during the beginning of spring in which I childishly grin at every tree that has blossomed. It's a nice time. So... Continue Reading →
Photography panel discussion: The city is watching- in the world of photography
As phases (and life) go by, I find myself discovering muses in many different people and places. However, one muse has been a constant this past decade- the city of Skopje. For better or for worse, Skopje has offered me a place and space to be myself creatively, as well as personally. That is why... Continue Reading →
Photographing body positivity
The world has been telling women that they don't look right since I can remember (and that was a while ago). We're either too fat, too skinny, have to straighten/curl our hair, our face needs more makeup, we wear too much makeup, and so on, and so forth. If you're a woman reading this, you...

Burnout- reality or myth?
Last week, I took a few days off and went on an extended spa weekend. I packed my photography gear and explored where I can go to shoot (even though I go to the same place often, there are still things to see), but during the trip I did not take out my camera once.... Continue Reading →
Botanical Garden Berlin
My favourite trips are city escapes. But sometimes it may become too much to look at buildings and monuments the whole time while on a trip, so I've found that botanical gardens or zoos are a great way to make a city escape holiday more diverse. Botanical gardens are also a great way to spend... Continue Reading →
Conceptual self-portrait: from idea to finished project
December was a dark month. Literally, there was not a whole lot of light to work with. After publishing a book in November 2018 (and working on that book for the past year) I decided to take a month off and work only if I felt inspired. But I was tired- I was coming off... Continue Reading →
The architecture files: City Shopping Center

Located in the heart of the city for long it has been the center for many cult bars, restaurants and shops. I remember growing up in that neighborhood and having the CSC... Continue Reading →
Smartphone photography – the Red Riding Hood project
The story about Little Red Riding Hood can be traced back as early as the 10th century, but the most famous variations on the topic have been written by Charles Perrault and the Grimm Brothers. In case you haven't heard it, it's about a little girl that wears a red coat with a red hood... Continue Reading →
