Hi there!
How delightful that you´ve found my hompage, welcome! I´m Erica Willner, 27 years old and home from Loviisa. I´m a self taught photographer that takes photos as a side-hustle. My style of photos are portrait. I take photos of individuals, pairs and small groups. I take photos of people in all stages of life.
About me
When I was little I fancied making crafts, spending time in nature, drawing, writing stories, playing videogames and knitting. In my teenage years I found an interest in acrylic painting. I found beauty in the rich colours of the paint on the white canvas. I´ve now taken a few steps into adulthood and i that process I´ve left some interests behind, but I´ve also found new ones. My interests as a young adult are writing, spending time in nature and gardening. My main interest is photography and photo editing.
Photography has been a part of my life for a long time. After i received my first phone with a decent camera I started documenting my every day life. I took photos of my pets, food, narure, even candy wraps that happened to be in the “perfect lighting”. Nowadays i suffer from low storage on my phone due to the ca 17 000 photos on it. My phone reminds me of the issue every single day…
Why photography?
Why do I have 17 000 photos on my phone you ask… well, I like to return to the photos. Every photo awakens a memory, and every memory awakens a bundle of feelings. I want to remember moments with my family and friends. I want to look back on sunrises, sunsets and the rich colors of summer. During the darkest days of winter I can look back att photos from the summer and be filled with hope, knowning that brighter days are around the corner. I want to remember and honour people that no longer are with us. The short answer to your question is that I want to remember and relive.
And you?
You´ve gotten to know me and now it´s time to focus on what I can offer YOU.
Sometimes we experience moments in life that make us wish that we could stop time, if only for a moment. We live fast lives and quickly these moments are forgotten due to the stress of our daily lives. Unfortunately I can´t offer magic spells that stop the flow of time. I can however offer you photographs that can eternalize these moments.
