Are you feeling stuck in your current career? Do you think that you would be happier doing something else? Do you have a passion for photography or another creative field and want to pursue it professionally? If so, you’re not alone. I have made a switch from technology and process consulting to photography, and while I still have a lot to learn and do, I already feel the impact this change has on me and my life. In this blog, I’ll share my stories and lessons learned, hoping to inspire and encourage you to release your inner creative self and pursue a new career of your dreams.
As autumn settles in along Croatia’s coast, my village shifts from a lively tourist hub to a quiet community focused on olive picking—the work that sustained generations. There’s nothing glamorous about it, but beneath calm autumn sunsets, I find a renewed connection to tradition and resilience. Here are seven lessons olive season taught me about success.
In this post, I talk about why I decided to open my first online photography store and the challenges I encountered along the way. From choosing the right platform and preparing photos to testing print partners and diving into market research, it’s been quite a journey. Now that the store is live, the real work begins – learning how to market it and planning new photography trips to grow my collection.

These streets will make you feel brand new

I’m not big on New Year’s resolutions, as it takes much more than a calendar change for us to start behaving differently.

Why is Instagram my next big challenge to overcome? Why is my being “the expert” a part of the problem and how I decided to deal with it?
A story about a day when I combined multiple things I love for a fun and productive morning. Plus an opportunity to show some airplane photos.
My last article was almost two months ago, and my Instagram feed seems even less active. What is going on? Why wasn’t being “on vacation” more productive for my photography project than my everyday work routine? How does picking up an activity after a longer break feel, and why does it remind me of sailing?
What do you need to succeed? Why what works for one person might not work for the other? Why is it essential to be aware of your exact circumstances, strengths and weaknesses, and work with and around your constraints?
I already changed my career once, and it wasn’t a great success story. The business I started after leaving the corporation had a slow start. What was my biggest mistake, and why won’t I repeat it?
Why the name of the blog? Even more so, the answer to the most frequently asked question by those who know me outside of photography.
