Backstage. Highlights

Before I got my hands on camera and we shot these for the lingerie brand, first, we did our test shots on the phone and I just realised I’ve never shared them. With Erin O’Hara

Red Series

There has been always a thing for me anout skin and flowers. Both living and dying with a difference pace. It’s been a while I shot self-portrait close ups, yet every time I do, I get inspired to shoot more

Red in Edit

Almost done with red series. Love for colors is slowly returning to me.

Skin and Forms

It's interesting how the more I work the less I feel productive sometimes. I've been editing lots of client work lately and was not able to edit something for my soul - this series, for example

Yet slowly I am getting there, sharing my color experiments with you and still trying to decide ...

Workshop

Here are a few frames that I received from Photographer , who participated in the latest workshop on a studio light where I was a model

Do I keep or remove the bruises?

Okay, sneak peek

Todays magic

Today I finally realised one of my dreams, shot a lot of skin on red tones. This is going to be so beautiful I was ready to cry during the shoot. The shapes, the forms, the lights, Lexi. Looking forward to share more

Daily tasks

Friends, I hope everyone is having a great weekend! My weekend looks like this most of the time - editing client work, so many shoots that I don’t share on my socials. Ps. Editing in bed - genius or lazy?

Blue and Green Duet

In a world that often places unrealistic expectations on women’s bodies, more and more women are turning to photography and lingerie as tools for self-empowerment and body positivity. These mediums allow women to embrace their bodies, celebrate their curves, and feel confident in their own skin...

Pretty Little things

Finally have some time to edit this series that are long due to be shown! From our shoot for lingerie brand Bordelle. With Erin O’Hara 🤍📸

Steam and Skin. Full Series

I've always loved the softness of the shots in humid conditions, it gives the framing softness without editing (even though, of course, these are edited per usual)

Body Abstraction

Human body - the most precious canvas we are given, with its marks, its folds, its imperfections

Studio Life Raw

Honestly, it's an interesting experience to edit someone's else work. These are straight from camera shots from a workshop where I worked as a model, but I decided to make an experiment and edit it myself, which transforms these series to a completely different vibe, much moodier and deeper.
