I was planning to follow a chronological order — to start sharing everyday life photos I took after that one special meeting in June, the moment everything shifted and I began photographing again with full force.
But before that, there are a few dozen photos I took earlier. And I’d still love to share them.
Like these ones.
This is the village — the place where my parent...

Sometimes I feel like I’m always complaining here.
I sit down to write a post — and freeze. I start typing something heavy, then delete it and think: “Come on, Julia, share something joyful. Write something light, warm, pink, fluffy, rainbow-sweet… something that...

After a long journey — I’m finally home.
It feels strange to call Mexico “home” when I’ve only lived here a few months, don’t speak Spanish yet, and have no real routine — no favorite cafés, no gym, no familiar routes, no circle of local friends (e...

It's so interesting to look at my self-portraits after a year or a year and a half. This photoshoot was taken sometime in mid-December 2023. I remember how tired, sad, and insecure I was. It was a period when I forgot what rest was and what listening to myself was, I had hormonal problems, my face was constantly covered in acne, hair on my body started to grow actively in places where it should...

A few days ago, I was visiting Nastya in Warsaw with Lolita. We drank tea, hugged, cuddled her fluffy (and deaf) cats, laughed, and talked about life, illness, war, photography, fears, and confessions — everything we love. And...

This is my first medium format self-portrait shoot. I finally found a mechanical timer that I was able to set up perfectly to work with my camera.
And here I am in the studio with a camera, with instax, a tripod and a timer. And everything finally went great - I didn't screw anything up) I loaded the film correctly, chose the settings correctly, the timer worked correctly and it seemed to...

"Love in Tokyo" — now available in my shop. This is my first digital release in the item shop. And it’s something very personal.
A small photo series I’ve never shared before. Me and my partner — through my lens, in my interpretation, in my feeling. Tokyo at night, a hotel room, soft light, touch, presence. It’s about connection that doesn’t need to be explain...

I was never really drawn to street photography. I never understood why people take pictures of flowers, clouds, animals… or architecture, for that matter. Photography, for me, was always about people. About clothing. About the body.
But something shifted during this trip. Paris, June 2024.
I became braver. I stopped obsessing over how man...

My mom always told me that all men want to marry Eastern European women (Ukrainians, Russians, Belarusians, Poles) because they’re more domestic, more well-groomed — because they have “traditional values.” Not like modern women in Europe or America — “all they care about is feminism and equal rights.” At the time, I used to listen and think, wow, she’s ...

These are film stills from my first trip to Europe (like real trip for full month). A trip where I was trying to find myself — trying to understand where I felt good, how I felt good… But in reality, I was just running away. Running from emotions that had shaken me completely back in Ukraine.
I planned this journey right after the death of my ex-boyfriend. It was a sad, strange, and d...

It’s strange how time moves in spirals. Slowly. Softly. But every loop goes deeper, wider — closer to something true.
Three years ago, when I first arrived and grounded myself in Barcelona, I was left alone with myself for the first time in my life. For 26 years, I’...

Yesterday I was sitting on the beach, watching the waves. The world felt perfect — warm wind, the sound of the ocean. And then, in just one random moment, I started to feel afraid — afraid that a wave would crush me, drag me deep down beneath it — I’d be thrashing around, trying at least to reach the surface. And even if I managed to come up, another wave would crash over m...

Few days ago I saw a story from a photographer I know. He asked:
“How many commercial shoots do you think I had this year?” “Correct answer — 0.” “Why do you think that is? What could be the reason?” 2025-04-18 17:00:23 +0000 UTC View Post
Starting April 20th, all of my Patreon tiers and pricing will be updated — a little restructuring, a little recalibration.

March was full of emotional storms. Crises, reflections, strong feelings… so many things inside me.
Sometimes there were moments of happiness and energy, but honestly, most of the time — maybe 80% — I felt like I was made of this ugly mix of sadness, weakness, anger, passive aggression, jealousy, envy. The real world around me felt like a beautiful fairytale. But in...

Maybe you’re just curious. Maybe you’ve followed me for a while. Or maybe you’ve just arrived, quietly, without knowing what exactly brought you here.
My Patreon is different from my social media accounts. It’s slower. More honest. More raw. Sometimes tender. Sometimes strange. Special. Here, I share my self-portraits, my work with other models, and projects where I step in front ...

I suggest you go to the “Collections” tab and explore the structured art I’ve created over the years.
You’ll find self-portraits, film work, muses, shared frames, nature, and a touch of sensuality — all gently grouped into their own space. Now you can explore no...

My Patreon has been with me for 4.5 years, and for all these years, I’ve barely changed anything. I originally created this space simply to share my work without fear—without censorship, without blurring, without worrying that my profile would be deleted. I wanted to have an audience that truly cared about my art, a space where I could share my thoughts and ta...

Now I'm in the mood to show you the shoot with which I started my research into the generally accepted commercial sexuality. It was June, Paris, a hotel with an inspiring interior and my desire to photograph myself a little sexier than usual.
For me, lingerie is the detail that eroticizes the female body. Therefore, the study involved a variety of elements from my lingerie wardrobe.
I have already shared with you photos of Lina as a model. But I did not tell you the story of how our shoot was planned and organized in general. As soon as I arrived in Warsaw in Octo...
