    Founder & Art Director
    My name is Alina.
    I have been working as a photographer and videographer since 2016.
    After my long journey, I settle down in a beautiful city in the North of Portugal, inspiring me every day with her raw and wild nature.
    Not long ago I realised that my photography journey was developed in parallel with my spiritual growth, and I decided to create a workshop to combine these 2 topics. Which I see as inseparable. Come and experience Mindful Photography with me.
