Born from Waves

Dylana Derjaj was born 13.07.2015. Born prematurely due to Major Placenta Previa, together we have had quite a tumultuous start to her life. 3 Months later, we are both finally out of hospital and healthy, but more importantly, happy. As a family we have so many reasons to celebrate, and I just wanted to take this moment to mark today. Perhaps one day she will look back through mummy's blog and see this, her very first post. We have so much to heal from, and so much to look forward to.
Dylana - feminine form of Dylan - Gaelic meaning "Born from Waves"

Starting this journey into photography feels like catching up with an old friend – my trusty Canon camera, a gift from my filmmaker dad over a decade ago. While life kept me busy raising my wonderful daughters, Sahana and Dylana, I put photography on hold for bedtime stories. But now, as I dive into learning about product photography, my creativity sparks. Behind the lens, I'm not just snapping pictures; I'm capturing memories and stories, a talent I believe runs in the family. The classroom has become a safe space filled with inspiration, where my classmates and I cheer each other on. Here, my knack for styling fits right in, blending with the skills of others. And our teachers, full of wisdom and encouragement, make every click of the camera feel like a chance for something great.

Cooking live on TVSN with Peter Mason

My sister joined me for the first time for an intro, and we shared our passion for Ayurvedic-inspired cooking with Peter Mason and our live audience. Thank you to everyone who tuned in and supported us on this exciting culinary journey!

Studio Portraits

First attempt at studio portraits inside the mArts precinct  Armed with professional equipment, I aim to unravel the personalities hidden within my subjects. The play of light and shadow bring their stories to life, capturing forever just a moment of each individual. In that environment, my subjects transform - the lens painting tales of expression
