Since social distancing, many things have obviously not been the same. One of those things has been travel and vacationing.
Vacation on a different planet
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.
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 →
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 →
Last minute April Fools Day costumes
Today is the 1st of April a.k.a. April Fools Day. In my country it's a custom to have masquerades on this day, but I myself am not a big fan of masquerades (nor was I ever). However, in the odd chance that I should actually attend a masquerade in a mask, I always have a... 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 →
Erina's photography rambles
