I, Heterochromia. 2018


Accepting yourself is hard enough and even more so when you are a bit different. I started “collecting” heterochromia over five years ago out of my personal fascination trying to find mythological or scientific explanation of heterocheomia (the project was called “Children of Hags”). Yes later, I realised that what I liked about photographing heterochromia most was not only amazing eyes, but people’s stories and so it became project about accepting yourself with portraits and stories called I, Heterochromia. Enjoy this magical journey with me.

Motherhood. 2018


Becoming a mom changed my life tremendously. It was hard to follow my dream and be a mother, but I tried to balance it out as much as I could and I started meeting many moms that needed some help to love themselves again and find new person they had become and hadn’t have time to discover yet and so I started to go deeper in to each and every story before each and every photoshoot, find things woman would like to work on or improve and with couching and guided meditation we would enter the state woman was longing for and immortalise it in the photo so she could “remember” who she really is in the time of need. I called it phototherapy and there is allot to discover still, but these were my first works.
