A Film Day in Rome – June 2025. Shot on Kodak Gold 200

-
In June 2025, I had the joy of spending a sunny days in Rome with my dear friend Zhanar – and I brought my film camera along. 
Zhanar lives in the San Lorenzo neighbourhood, just behind the Termini train station. If you notice the church in some of the photos – that’s where we were! San Lorenzo is popular among students and young people because of its more affordable housing, and the vibe is very lively and relaxed. 
We sat down for a coffee on a quiet street next to the church, soaking in the atmosphere and chatting about life. 
Zhanar showed me the Italian rhythm of living: early mornings, slow afternoons, long walks across the city. She believes that romantic floral dresses are just made for life in Italy – and looking at her in the photos, I can’t help but agree. 
We later made our way to the Roman Forum area, strolling among crowds of tourists, caught between ruins and sunlight. Here are a few moments from that day – soft tones, summer warmth, and the kind of memories only film can hold. Enjoy 🌸📸
Location: Quartiere San Lorenzo, 00185 Rome, Metropolitan City of Rome Capital, Italy

Double Exposure, Geneva, February 2025

This photo series is a quiet tribute to connection — between people, between cities, and between moments captured on film. Shot on Ilford PAN 400, these images are the result of a beautiful accident: a double exposure created not by design, but by distance, memory, and trust. The Story Behind the Film: Some time ago, my husband Oleksii took a few photographs in Kyiv. Nature. Machinery. Buildings. He didn’t finish the roll — and forgot what was on it. When he sent the film to me in Geneva, I loadedit into my camera, unaware of the latent images it already held. I photographed what surrounded me: lake shores, city architecture, textures of everyday life.

We celebrated New Year 2022 together with our friends in Ukraina. One of them - Nastya (or Nasyla ) - brought a box of Swiss chocolate, sent by her aunt from Geneva. Who could imagine that in a few months I'll move there  with my kids hiding from war. Now me and Nastya meet both in Geneva and Kyiv. Here in Swiss, when she comes to see her relatives, and there in Kyiv - when I come to see mines.  This bunch of shots were made during our walks in Nyon and Geneva in sunny December of 2024. My very first roll on a professional camera Canon ELAN 7, here in Switzerland, after 3 years of a break in my film photo hobby.
