🇬🇧 Beautiful day

A beautiful day is a day that is beautiful within us. It may be a day that we feel beautiful and value our beauty. A day that we take care of ourselves inside and out. A day that we feel happy with or without reason. A day that we can appreciate the little things that make our days more beautiful, like listening to our favourite songs, singing them without worrying about what others will think, having a positive experience when going to dinner at a different restaurant or traveling to a place where we've never been, receive photos from a photoshoot we did and see our beauty through different eyes, talk to someone who inspires us... A beautiful day is not about others, but it can be with others. It doesn’t depend on the weather, either. And when we create our beautiful days we may want to share that beauty around. In the form of art. In the form of words. In the form of smiles. In the form of clothes. Or anything we create on and off the job (excellence is about happiness). It...

🇬🇧 Exalt your beauty

I believe that everyone has their beauty, and when I photographed events I always said that no one appeared ugly in my photos. Precisely because I seek the beauty of people. When deciding to work with fine art photography, including portraits and commissioned photo essays, I seek to offer clients the chance to record the best of their beauty. A natural best, with a minimum of cosmetic edits, seeking a sustainable result, if the person wants to maintain the Diva effect on a daily basis, but at the same time a fascinating result, which impresses those who see the photos, which makes the client remember daily how much it is a beautiful person. Your best gift awaits you on the available services page. Exalt your beauty. There are many ways to do this and I know the best ones. Nycka the Nomad

🇬🇧 A photographer is NOT someone who captures the moment

Contrary to what some people think, a photographer is not someone who captures the moment . Amateur photographers capture the moment. I create images designed to make a certain impact. There is a whole production behind each photo shoot and each portrait produced by me nowadays. Amateur photographers also don't have much idea of ​​their costs, and before definitely deciding to go down this path I carefully analyzed mine. Fine art photography relies on the photographer's repertoire to construct unique and meaningful images. I look for beauty in all people and also in things and places that are not always appreciated by the majority. And if I worked for many years with style consultancy, it was to contribute, with my experience, for more people to reveal and value the beauty they have. And I also learned a lot about low self-esteem, and how people with this trait sabotage themselves. So I'm not shy about making clear things like my choice not to edit skin and hair to make the...

🇬🇧 Fashion photography

Those who follow my work know that I differentiate between fashion and clothing. In short, fashion is what innovators and early adopters wear. The rest is apparel. And fine art photography goes perfectly with fashion. It might work well for apparel brands too, but I would recommend apparel brands interested in my work to have a PR and social media team that knows how to deal with conflict and criticism in a mature and intelligent way. I don't like obvious photography, I don't like obvious things in general. And precisely for this reason, even in commercial photography, my identity as a fine art photographer is part of the job. And eventually this can shock groups used to lukewarm publicity, on the fence, trying not to bother people. I believe in strong brands that have strong positioning. Fashion, the most innovative, already flirts with art naturally, so the natural path is to opt for artistic photographs. As a consumer, I am innovative, especially in fashion. And that helps ...

🇬🇧 Wedding photography

After sharing my suggestions for preparing for a boudoir shoot or fine art nude photo shoot I now share my suggestions on how to prepare for a fine art wedding photography shoot . This text concerns my way of working at the time of its publication. As I am always evolving, learning and improving, the most important guidelines are those given to each client in the interview prior to the photo shoot. There are different ways to register a marriage. I usually work with artistic photography of the couple outside the ceremony environment. This can be negotiated to include documentary recording of the ceremony. I avoid a common documentary record because in every wedding ceremony nowadays there are hundreds of people with their cell phones doing this. This interferes with the photographer's work, as these people are more concerned with photographing than with experiencing the emotion of the moment. What makes wedding photographs and other events beautiful are emotions. And often guest...

🇬🇧 Age and beauty

Beauty has no age, although many people, especially women, feel pressured to look eternally young. In this text I will list celebrities over 50 that I consider beautiful. I like natural beauty, without cosmetic procedures to look like a teenager, but I didn't search to banish anyone who had cosmetic procedures or plastic surgery from the list. Even because sometimes the effect of these things is quite natural and beautiful. But I admit I left out a lot of famous people who struggle to look the same as they did in their 20s. Many even use the same haircut. Have you read "The Picture of Dorian Gray"? People like that remind me of this book. First on the list, the beautiful Judi Dench. I never tire of mentioning her as one of the most beautiful women in the world, in my opinion. And she is not beautiful “despite” being almost 90 years old. She is beautiful the way she is, at her age. Helen Mirren. A woman that the more time passes, the prettier she gets. I saw pictures o...

🇬🇧 Why you shouldn't wear trending colours

Every season the media publicises the colours that are trending. And this is a text to explain why self-respecting people shouldn't wear a colour simply because it's trendy. No colour looks good on everyone. Not even black and white. It's important to know which colours value your appearance and personality and to know how to build contexts that value you, after all wearing monochromatic looks on a daily basis is boring. When I talk about contexts here, it's a set of factors that include the colours, shapes and materials of your clothes and makeup, your profession, the environment you're going to wear that combination of pieces, etc. My style consultancy offers all the resources you need to use the best colour combinations for your profile, and it's not limited to that. Colours and shapes are non-verbal communication tools and if you don't know what they communicate in each context, they will probably speak ill of you. I am the world's leading expert...
