"SELO". Stories from before the after.

I was planning to follow a chronological order — to start sharing everyday life photos I took after that one special meeting in June, the moment everything shifted and I began photographing again with full force.

But before that, there are a few dozen photos I took earlier. And I’d still love to share them.

Like these ones.

Shooting with

Ruslana Makivka

Sometimes I feel like I’m always complaining here.

I sit down to write a post — and freeze. I start typing something heavy, then delete it and think: “Come on, Julia, share something joyful. Write something light, w...

Shooting with

Aleks Stojanov

After a long journey — I’m finally home.

It feels strange to call Mexico “home” when I’ve only lived here a few months, don’t speak Spanish yet, and have no real routine — no favorite cafés, no gym,...

Selfportraits

It's so interesting to look at my self-portraits after a year or a year and a half. This photoshoot was taken sometime in mid-December 2023. I remember how tired, sad, and insecure I was. It was a period when I forgot what rest was and what listening to myself was, I had hormonal problems, my face was constantly covered in acne, hair on my body ...

Inspiration Lives Here # Nastya Mihaylova

⸻

A few days ago, I was visiting Nastya in Warsaw with Lolita. We drank tea, hugged, cuddled her fluffy (and deaf) cats, laughed, and talked about life, illness, war, photography, ...

Selfportraits with

Lina Tsapova

I recently returned from a three-week trip to Kyiv — a very special one. I had been imagining it for months: walking around the city, hugging my parents, smelling the lilacs early in the morning at the botanical garden, drink...

Selfportraits on film

This is my first medium format self-portrait shoot. I finally found a mechanical timer that I was able to set up perfectly to work with my camera.

And here I am in the studio with a camera, with instax, a tripod and a timer. And everything finally went great - I didn't screw anything up) I loaded the film correctly, chose the settings corr...

My first set in shop

"Love in Tokyo" — now available in my shop. This is my first digital release in the item shop. And it’s something very personal.

A small photo series I’ve never shared before. Me and my partner — through my lens, in my interpretation, in my feeling. Tokyo at night, a hotel room, soft light, touch, presence. It’s ...

A beginning I didnt expect

I was never really drawn to street photography. I never understood why people take pictures of flowers, clouds, animals… or architecture, for that matter. Photography, for me, was always about people. About clothing. About the body.

But something shifted during this trip. Paris, June 2024.

Shooting with

Me with Lolita by Nastya Mihaylova

I’ve always loved being alone. I liked silence, the spaciousness around me, the absence of people. I used to escape from social noise into the fores...

My muse

Part 2

My mom always told me that all men want to marry Eastern European women (Ukrainians, Russians, Belarusians, Poles) because they’re more domestic, more well-groomed — because they have “traditional values.” Not like modern women in Europe or America — “all they care about is feminism and equal rights.” At the t...

Edge of the world

These are film stills from my first trip to Europe (like real trip for full month). A trip where I was trying to find myself — trying to understand where I felt good, how I felt good… But in reality, I was just running away. Running from emotions that had shaken me completely back in Ukraine.

I planned this journey right after the deat...

Shooting with

Gary Efimov

It’s strange how time moves in spirals. Slowly. Softly. But every loop goes deeper, wider — closer to something true.

Three years ago, when I first arrived and grounded myself in Barcelona, I was left alone with myself...

Selfportraits

Part 1

Yesterday I was sitting on the beach, watching the waves. The world felt perfect — warm wind, the sound of the ocean. And then, in just one random moment, I started to feel afraid — afraid that a wave would crush me, drag me deep down beneath it — I’d be thrashing around, trying at least to reach the surface. And even if I m...

Shooting with

Jun Ishibashi

Few days ago I saw a story from a photographer I know. He asked:

“How many commercial shoots do you think I had this year?” “Correct answer — 0.” “Why do y...
