A portrait marking a 40th year, a beautiful family and a passion for long distance running races.  The Učka Trail along this mountain spine in Istria caught my eye.  Incredible scenery!

Brief for a wedding portrait: "They like travelling, drinking coffee in a cafe, watching stand up comedians, they work together in the University of mech. engineering." plus some relevant photographs with all the back and forth on WhatsApp.

Kenya Journalling

Marking our return to Kenya, for a most wonderful Easter holiday,

I made these journals for my daughter and her friend. 

I made the covers white as I wanted them to get dirty and grubby, covered in finger prints and the nitty gritty.  So we could bring back a little bit of actual Kenya together with our memories and photos.
