March BTS

Good morning everyone, with 2 bts photos while I was shooting with Cyril here in Bali and a wave caught me!

It’s time to leave Uluwatu and move to Ubud, which means it’s also time to start working 😭 I’ve been living such a dream in my little cocoon that going back to reality feels difficult.

What can I say about this past month in Bali? I’ve never been so positively surprised. I had such low expectations—I was afraid of finding an overly touristy place with no soul—but I was wrong. This place has a powerful soul, a rhythm of its own that pulls you in. Traveling to different parts of the island, experiencing different realities and landscapes, and sharing them with new people every week has been such a blessing! I loved every moment of it. The energy I received from people, nature, the rain, the sea, the rocks, the sun, and the moon—it’s unbelievable. Something inside me shifted, something unlocked.

And that’s exactly what I was desperately searching for: my creative energy, my sensuality, my connection with myself and my emotions. For the last two years, the more successful I became in this job, the more I lost the ability to connect with my emotions—both in front of the camera and in everyday life. Everything became more structured, good for money and planning, but subtly, my emotions started to fade away. I was happy, yet frustrated with myself for not being able to find that raw connection I had when I first started shooting. Back then, despite having less experience, I was able to throw my soul into every moment, every emotion, so intensely.

I think this place has helped me find my way back to myself—through the nature, the people around me, the deep connections with other creative women. My body and heart needed this. They had been screaming for it, but I didn’t know how to help them.

I hope this is just the beginning. I feel that this year (as I had already decided—because sometimes I can be empathic with myself and sense what I need) will be less about work and more about collaborations, meaningful creativity, and energy. And you’ll definitely benefit from it too, as you’ll follow my journey and creations.

Thank you, as always, to everyone who supports me here. It’s such a great feeling to share my work with other human beings who appreciate it—that’s the fuel that keeps me going. We are human, and we need to share. We need community, connection, and love from each other to feel fulfilled.

Wishing you all a wonderful week—see you in a few days! ❤️
