"To be a wild woman is to be full of life, vibrant, and untamed. It is to understand that true beauty lies in the freedom of being yourself, without any limitations."
Clarissa Pinkola Estés
Hey, I am Monika
I am a photographer, artist, and illustrator. I have been living in Fuerteventura for four years – an island that captivated me with its light, space, and incredible tranquility. I have always been passionate about photography and capturing that one magical moment. I try to weave creativity into different areas of my life, so in addition to photography, I also illustrate, travel, run creative, live printing workshops as @nuberosastudio, and strive to observe everything around me with mindfulness.
This allows me to capture our beautiful world every day. I love being outdoors, discovering what’s around the corner, and simply experiencing life with all my senses. I most often find inspiration in nature. In Fuerteventura, it’s the rock formations and the huge waves that I can watch for hours. I adore clouds, which for me are living paintings.
My intention is to capture your beauty.
My intention is to see you.
My intention is to spend a pleasant time with you, during which I will show you the beautiful places on the island.
My intention is to create a safe and peaceful space for you during the photo shoot.
How do I work?
Take your time. I won’t rush you, I’ll give us time. I work intuitively, and many things emerge during the photo shoot itself because I see how to connect the surrounding landscape with the person standing in front of my lens. My experience allows me to implement interesting ideas and create a warm atmosphere where we feel comfortable. The values I follow are respect, mindfulness, sensitivity to others, and being "here and now." It is very important for me to create a safe space where you will feel at ease.
Before the session, I prepare a vision/concept of what I would like to achieve during our meeting. I often work on Pinterest boards, creating mood boards that define the mood of the session. If you decide to meet with me, let me know and I will set one up for us.
Place & time
The exact date, time, and location of our meeting will be arranged with you about a week before the photo shoot to ensure we have ideal weather conditions. I choose the location depending on the atmosphere we want to create for the photo shoot.
Availability
I am currently in Fuerteventura until the end of May. Reach out to me and I will let you know which dates are available!
Duration
A photo shoot with me lasts 40 minutes for the MINI package, around one hour for the MAGIC package (sometimes it can be 40 minutes, other times it may be 1 hour and 20 minutes), and approximately 2.5 hours for the FREEDOM package.
I know exactly when I have enough material and when we can wrap up our session.
This time will allow us to take a walk together, explore the location, and take photos. From experience, I know this is enough time to capture many beautiful shots.
What will you receive as part of a photo shoot with me?
Video/Audio Constulation
We will get to know each other better and discuss our idea for your photo shoot.
Our meeting
I offer you a space full of mindfulness, lightness, and softness. This time will be dedicated 100% to you.

How to prepare for a photo shoot?
Don’t be afraid! It will be great. I’ll help you with everything.
Bring outfits in one color, avoid patterns unless our concept allows for them. Choose clothes that make you feel comfortable. Remember, you can always consult your outfits with me. I’ll help you!
On the day of the session, try not to schedule any other activities that could stress you out or distract you.
Don’t worry about not knowing how to pose. It’s not important. If you simply trust me, I promise it will be beautiful.
If you have an item of power, bring it with you! It could be a stone, a favorite book, something that gives you strength, maybe we’ll capture it in one of the photos?
Remember, the time we spend together is, above all, fun and an unforgettable adventure.
