Wear what looks great on you, meaning what stresses your beauty and hides little flaws. Consider cuts that flatter your figure.

For me, my photography style, is more than just a look. It's my life's philosophy that I've curated through many years. It's about being here and now, or at least trying your best to be and savoring small day to day moments. It's about minimalism and not being obsessed about trends or any small things in life, but knowing what you like and what you don't. It's also about nature and reading books. About slow weekend breakfast, family, about vacations you take in South of France and Italy in your dreams, and then in reality... It's about beautiful life that you curate, being in line with your values and being kind and loving to others. Finding your own voice and never being inauthentic again.
