Inia Herenčić

Every day, there are all of these tiny little moments that make life beautiful. Experiences can lead to the discovery of different kinds of doors in life. Every time I go through a door, I just want to jump or crawl into them to really get inside of the hidden essence of the spaces. This is where I learn and get inspired.

New possibilities, approaches and feelings make me aware of the present and give me so much joy and happiness. One door I opened lead me on a big journey. The next door gave me the opportunity to engage many workshops and volunteering in different fields with children and adults. There was also a door that brought a job opportunity on my path but I realized that I wanted to focus on my work as a photographer which really excites me.
My biggest joy is to be a mother of a two beautiful girls and to discover this planet from behind the lens. Experiencing the lessons our little miracles teaches us immensely.

Enjoying the different colors and tastes of life, traveling and meeting new people make me feel fulfilled. It is like riding a bicycle or the moment when your bare feet detach from a cliff and you start to fly into the sea.

I still don’t know what I will be when I grow up so I became everything and let me be seized in the world.
