Some days ago I had a discussion with H about change. For a while we´ve been thinking about moving to a new home, so let´s put it this way, the word “change” has popped up very often in our talks nowadays. As much as we love our tiny apartment, working and living in such a small space is becoming more and more challenging. At one point he told me “…yea, in some stuff you REALLY don´t like changes!”. For a moment his words felt quite startling. Hah…you think so?! “…are you kidding?” – he asked back. It got me thinking. He is right, in some things I don´t like it, however… Keep Reading
Creative photography workshop by Dasha Pears
A few weeks ago I packed my camera bag with an empty notebook and headed to a creative photography workshop at Kaapelitehdas held by Dasha Pears. I´m sure quite a lot of you know her work, but in case you don´t, here is a link to her page.

I think that these are really cool opportunities to get a little glimpse of a certain field. If you like it, you´ll learn it further on, if not, then it was just a fun experience for you….

Willow visuals is…
People often ask me where did the name “Willow visuals” come from? It´s very simple actually, but it needs a little bit of explanation. For a very long time, I had been contemplating taking a turn in my career. I studied business and I have been working for companies for some time, but in the past years I realised that I wanted to do something more creative. Art (especially photography and illustration) has always been my passion. Besides working, I took art and photo classes that I really-really enjoyed, so little by little the idea of changing my career path towards photography and design felt like the right thing to… Keep Reading
