When she is not immersed in her creative pursuits, Lidia enjoys hiking, traveling, dancing, meditating, and spending quality time with her husband. Her passion for storytelling through photography continues to evolve, reflecting her deep connection to the world around her.
For Lidia, a successful photograph encapsulates the essence of her experience and acts as a portal, encouraging the viewer to explore a hidden dimension of reality, where the invisible life of our visible world can be felt.
I never underestimate an opportunity and a joy of visiting new locations and capturing an atmosphere of a place. Gratitude comes naturally as taking an image helps to see fresh and reveals how rich our reality is.
