Behind the lens 

My name is Evi, I am 24 years old, and I have been passionate about photography ever since high school. During my time in high school, I took photography classes and after my graduation, I decided to pursue this passion further. I started by taking photos during small trips around Europe and gradually improved my skills. Before my trip to Asia, I decided to invest in a better camera to enhance my skills further. This turned out to be a fantastic choice, as I spent every day photographing and learning more and more. Today, photography is not only a hobby but also my profession. From Europe to Asia, my photography journey has been rich with diverse assignments. Feel free to reach out, and let’s discuss how my photography can contribute to your next project!

Chi Chi Curaçao

Before my trip to Curaçao in April 2024, I did some research on things to do and what was typical of the island. That’s when I discovered the Chichi dolls. “Chichi” means “big sister” in Papiamentu, the language spoken on Curaçao. The Chichi figure represents the older sister, a woman with a curvy figure, who often takes care of the family and her younger siblings. These Chichi dolls are usually painted in bright colors and bold patterns. I had the chance to take photos during a workshop featuring them.
