Some connections grow over time, shaped by shared passions and creative curiosity. My journey with the talented violinist Joanna Paluch began years ago on Tumblr—a platform where ideas, art, and inspiration often collide. As our paths unfolded across cities and conversations, we eventually met in person: first in London, then in Vienna.

When Joanna approached me about deepening her understanding of photography, we crafted a three-day workshop tailored specifically to her needs. The experience was a blend of creativity, learning, and hands-on exploration. Day one focused on the essentials: composition, posing, and harnessing available light to create impactful images. On the second day, we shifted gears, diving into the art of editing and color grading—transforming raw captures into polished works. The final day brought everything full circle as I guided Joanna in refining her skills before turning the lens back on her for a series of studio portraits.

Workshops like these are not just about teaching technical skills; they’re about creating a space where creativity can flow, confidence can grow, and stories can be told through the lens. Thank you, Joanna, for your trust, enthusiasm, and the joy of sharing this experience.
