The Journey Matters
Holiday Stories, Artists’ Stories, Documentary Storytelling

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 Holiday Documentaries, Artists' Stories, and Documentary Storytelling. (Italy, France, Hungary, Spain, Morocco, Jordan, Croatia)

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.

Her new program Creative Retreat for Lifestyle and Hospitality Management offers photography, styling, and art direction services, besides creative consulting and workshops.
