Hi.Salut.Hola.

My name is Luiza. I am a professional photographer with a strong passion for combining art and well-being. I love photography, mindfulness and nature. I was born in Romania. I am currently residing in Finland.

I speak English, Romanian and Spanish on a daily basis.

My mission

Drawing from my own journey as a highly sensitive person who has triumphed over CPTSD, anxiety, depression, stress, and burnout with the help of photography and specific contemplative practices, now, I'm on a mission to help others nurture their well-being and unleash their creativity using photography as a healing tool.
