Publication in the Selin magazine
What started as a personal passion project turned into a published photo series in SELIN magazine. The idea was simple: to embrace women for who they are: confident, powerful, and themselves, no matter what they're wearing. From business suits and flowy dresses to bold denim looks, the series celebrates self-expression in every form.
My first passion project
This was the first project I started completely on my own. I came up with the concept and looked for people who could help bring my ideas to life. From the story and styling to the makeup and overall direction, everything was my responsibility. It was a great learning experience in taking the lead and guiding a small team.I felt safe to share my opinions and give clear direction, which really helped build my confidence. At the same time, it was inspiring to work with people from different fields and learn from their experiences. Combining all those insights made the creative process even more exciting and in the end we created something we were all really proud of.
