Photography is my way to open up to different perspectives and to distance myself from everyday life. What I love the most about it is that it simply makes my dreams come true. It takes me to the places which become my favourite ones. And it gives me people who normally I would never have a chance to meet, and they become my favourite ones as well. That's why I take any opportunity to travel, practice photography skills, and do things I've never done before.

 

Let Me Italian You always provides all above, that's why Discover Lisbonis my fifth experience - before that, I took part in Discover Barcelona III, Discover Sicily I, Discover Marrakech I and Discover Budapest V.

Hi! I am Karolina from Poland.
 
I love photography, because it gives me so many options to express myself. Sometimes it's easier to take a photo that explain the feeling. That love is very young, less than year old. My favourite things to shoot are people and cities. In my work I focus on colours and light. For now, there is nothing better than to go somewhere with my canon and get lost for a few hours. 
 
It is my first time with this project, so I hope that we will have a lot of fun and become inspired together!
