︎︎︎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.
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 design and photography collaborations with cafes, hotels, lifestyle/fashion brands, and personal clients on Holiday Documentaries. (Italy, France, Hungary, Spain, Morocco, Jordan, Croatia)
Holiday Stories, Artists’ Stories, Documentary Storytelling
The Journey Matters photgraphy 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, and the beauty of the moment - often have a behind the scene movie atmosphere and bring an air of nostalgia and timeless storytelling.
