Turning Real Life into Art
Documentary Photographer | Melbourne
Why document the ordinary?
Because life is made out of a myriad of seemingly ordinary and insignificant, and yet beautiful, meaningful and invaluable moments. Because those ordinary moments are fleeting.
Because our everyday is their childhood. The days may seem long, but the years are short. So let’s document those memories, the daily routines, the mundane and the ordinary - not just for us but also for our kids. The trampoline highs and the teeth brushing lows. The loud roars of laughter and the quiet cuddles on the sofa. And everything in between.
I’m the human behind Stories by Nadja. I love stories. I like listening to them as well as telling them - through photographs.
I’d love to tell your unique and beautiful story with amazing images. My hope is that my work will show you how beautiful your reality is. I’m hoping you’ll see that you are enough. I’m hoping to show you that your life is beautiful and full of love by capturing all the ordinary and seemingly insignificant things you and your family do. The in between hugs, the swing pushing, hair brushing, book reading and good night kisses, and everything else that makes up your family’s fabric.
Hey, I’m Nadja
How do we tell your story in photographs?
I’ll hang out with you and your family, while you do what you usually do. I’ll be there for a couple of hours, or even a full day, and capture your everyday. That could be a visit to the playground or the beach, the weekly grocery shop, a trip to Bunnings, lunch or dinner, the dreaded teeth brushing, bedtime stories, whatever your day may look like.
Of course we can include some family portraits, if you want.
