Some other projects
photo comma
Photo comma is a place with mostly personal photography projects or stand alone images without particular connection with each other taken randomly from here and there. A place where my fascination for photography can have shape – looking for contradictions and harmony in the same time – taking pictures just for the pleasure of taking a picture, because of the picture itself – of the thousands of stories hidden behind every moment.
christmas workshop
Christmas workshop – let’s create part of the Christmas spirit with our hands! I worked together with Alegria – workshops for joy and applied arts. Workshops that occur in children centers, kinder gardens, parental cooperatives, etc. Classes are intended for children and parents, and the relationship built in the creative process is very genuine and strong. Thanks to the various topics, children learn to work with many materials, use different techniques and rely on their imagination.
