The Journey Matters 
Hospitality Consulting on Strategy, Design, and Communication

Creative Services for Lifestyle and Hospitality Management offers photography, styling, and art direction services, besides creative and design consulting and workshops.
More on ︎︎︎The Journey Matters

The Journey Matters started as a personal photography project by Angie, a collection of visual essays on discovered moments, stories, and places. It later evolved into various collaborations with cafes, hotels, lifestyle/fashion brands, and personal clients on Hotel Editorials, Ad campaigns, Concept- and Documentary Holiday Stories.

Holiday Stories, Artists’ Stories, Documentary Storytelling
The Journey Matters celebrates the joy of connections, and it shares a love for rare and unexpected moments with personal discovery. The images are unstaged and focused on personality, character, and the beauty of the moment - often have a behind the scene movie atmosphere and bring an air of nostalgia and timeless storytelling.
