Remember these? Before digital photography, we had film and film negatives from which we got our prints. And before we had the “easy” one-hour printing service, we had little diapositives or transparencies made from the original film, that were mounted on cardboard and used mainly with projectors (aka as reversal film). I still remember …

My husband often says that the best thing that came out of one of my jobs, was meeting two people who at the moment were clients and today, a couple of years after, are two of our closest friends. Some years back, this amazing couple started a non profit called PaidaOrphanage to support an …
Spartan Race RECAP
Don’t know if you’ve heard about Spartan Races, but they are basically a strenuous test to the contestants’ physical endurance and strength. This past 20th of February, the first Spartan Race in Dubai took place at the Jebel Ali Race Course – and if the 5km sprint race with obstacles wasn’t enough challenge already, a …

Skype·ing with my brother and sister in law the other day, we somehow ended up talking about my first camera ever. It has been twelve years since I got into photography and asked him to buy it abroad for me. Later that same year I met the person that would be my life-long partner in …

[˜Omani flavour, I think] I don’t recall anyone ever telling me they didn’t love Oman. People that have lived in Muscat, claim they would go back any day, tourists that have gone to the touristy side of Oman have really enjoyed themselves, and those adventurous people that have gone off-roading through it’s wadis have been …
Hybirds
Birds have always captivated me without really knowing enough about them. I find them beautiful visually and symbolically; the colours their folded feathers hide, the textures and the shapes they form mid flight as they spread their wings. They are an inspiration all the way from aeronautical engineering to mythical creatures. In my imaginary worlds, …
Trying new things.
Just recently, I learned about a photo technique called the Brenizer method. It took me a while to catch up on it but I had seen many images with this look before and wondered how the photographers had managed to make them. So obviously, once I learned, I had to give it a try. A …
I C E L A N D
So I’ve already shared a video of our summer holidays in beautiful Iceland, but I don’t remember showing the trip’s photographs to even my family that came along. Long story short, my parents managed to make my brothers and me organize ourselves and made these holidays possible (we had been wanting to do something together …
