From this photo, one could expect that it is some abandoned place. But in fact, I want to transfer you to a very old church in Maastricht (NL), which now serves as a book shop with a café. It is usually full of people so I needed to find a small spot from where I could catch constancy and permanency that both well describe this extraordinary atmosphere. The final result is often different from the real state we capture it in.

My name is Natalia Slovinska. I was born in Slovakia and currently I am living in the Netherlands. I am an amateur photographer specialized in architecture, street and nature photography. I rely more on my intuition than on technical knowledge, that leads me to trying all possibilities. I find uniqueness in every thing, place and situation, capture it in simplicity and perfection without major adjustments and interventions. Black and white photography shows me that less can be more and I like to find balance in that.
