Learning to express emotions and moods is a complicated process. I created this project to help myself, as well as the people I photographed, recognise and distinguish what they feel.
The project is divided into chapters, each portraying a specific emotion or mood that I experience. I photographed four people who are very dear to me. Each of them represents a different emotion or mood I experience every day, and in each of them I recognise a part of myself.
I then chose to photograph myself to represent one of my biggest insecurities: my physical appearance. I hope these images can help both myself and the people I photographed better understand what they feel.

Notes, videos, travels and memories.
I usually work by creating a connection with the person I photograph. Most of my projects are very personal, and the people in my images are often people I share a close bond with. I’m not looking for perfect poses. I’m more interested in small gestures, quiet moments, and the parts of someone that appear naturally. When I photograph landscapes, I focus on details: light, textures, colours, and the small things I notice while being there.
Hi, I’m Emilia. I explore the world through photography, mostly on film. I love photographing my friends, landscapes, and the small details I notice along the way. This is a place for photos, thoughts, travels, and things I want to remember.
I’m inspired by nature, by the people around me, and by the small things I notice in everyday life. My friends inspire me a lot, because they often become part of my work without forcing anything. I’m also drawn to quiet places, landscapes, colours, light, old memories, and the feeling of being somewhere new. Most of the time, inspiration comes from something simple: a face, a landscape, or a moment I don’t want to forget.
