Activities I Enjoy

Do what you enjoy and enjoy what you do.

Photography

It’s no secret I love to wander around, observe and document everyday magical moments and interesting things.

On my walks, I find beauty in the mundane, the unusual and the unexpected. I vigorously explore urban landscapes fascinated by the fusion and the clash of natural environments vs. man-made construction.

Besides walking around cities and noticing interesting people, iconic buildings, majestic trees and fascinating art, I especially enjoy spending time in nature. Whether I’m forest bathing, admiring a magnificent tree, inspecting a wonderful fern, a charming moss or waiting for a squirrel to accept me so I can get a better shot, I just feel joyful around old trees and wildlife.

Additionally, photography enables me to connect to my tribe in fun and beautiful ways. It allows me to record emotions and unveil the beauty hidden within. By taking candid portrait shots I aim to remind people just how beautiful their are and inspire them to be more confident and happy. Seeing a person’s face light up with joy while observing an image of themselves and their loved ones is pure magic.

Styling and Home Decorating

Another activity that brings me joy is home decorating and arranging spaces and things in aesthetically pleasing ways.

I love curating beautiful home decorations, elevating the space by mindfully selecting an elegant plant or a piece of art, creating stunning displays, styling products for photoshoots or video campaigns, organizing cabinets and wardrobes, painting walls and even plating food artfully. My heart skips a beat when biophilic design meets iconic architecture.

Each of these activities allows me to express myself creatively, and enrich everyday life by bringing a touch of beauty.

Renchi’s Plant Companions

My passions for nature and home styling come to life in my ever-evolving home jungle. There’s no better home decoration than a living, breathing plant. They are magical, with the ability to transform and elevate any space. Caring for my plant companions is a mindful and rewarding process that greatly enhances my happiness and mental well-being.

From selecting the perfect plant companion for my space to choosing beautiful pots, glass containers, or terrariums to house them, I find joy in every step of the process. Styling and displaying these plants in aesthetically pleasing ways and watching them grow brings me immense satisfaction.

Paintings and painting as a service

Painting is incredibly therapeutic for me. Whether I’m transforming a wall, a fence, a piece of furniture, or a canvas, the process brings me immense joy. While I paint canvases purely for the pleasure of it, I hold myself to high standards when it comes to painting walls and furniture.

Fun facts about me

Dark curvy soul stuck in a skinny white body, life, go figure.

Quirky personality with a dark sense of humor.

Black is my happy color.

Despite not being born in a tropical country, I consider myself a tropical plant at heart.

I’m drawn to jungle-inspired, unconventional foliage plants such as ferns, mosses, and carnivorous varieties, preferring them over traditional flowering houseplants. In fact, whenever a flower appears, I promptly remove it due to allergies and potential stinger insects!

My heart skips a beat when biophilic design meets iconic architecture.

A few years ago I had a near death experience and it changed my everything.

How I got started with Photography

While battling cancer, I started using photography as a form of therapy.

Bringing my full attention to the subject matter in front of me would distract me from the insanely intense pain tearing me apart from within. I would fully immerse myself in the study of light, the angles, and the emotion of a scene.

Allowing myself to be seduced by the sensual play of light, shadow, textures, colors and reflections would provide a much needed distraction. Such pure focus left little room for anything but being present in the moment and trying to capture it’s essence.

Photography soon became more then a hobby. It became a passion, a lifestyle, a life choice. I fell deeply in love with this medium because it allowed me to channel the pain and rage into something constructive when I really needed it.

Today, it serves as a powerful tool that helps me share how I see the world for what it is and what it could be.

I use photography to draw attention to subjects I find interesting. This results in an ever-growing portfolio of portrait photography, botanical photography, urban architecture photography, street photography, nature photography, as well as still life and fine art pieces.

What I do as a creative photographer

My soul burns to create. Although I enjoy expressing myself in different ways, photography has a place at the top of my passions list. Please find a list of things I enjoy doing as a creative photographer bellow.

Capture exquisite moments

On my walks, I notice and capture the magic of everyday moments.

I use photography to document the uniqueness of life, reveal the extraordinary in the mundane, everyday things and showcase the beauty of places I visit and people I meet.

Add Magic

Photography serves as my bridge to connect and engage with my tribe. It enables me to capture raw emotions and reveal the hidden beauty that lies within.

Through the lens of candid portrait photography, my mission is to capture and celebrate the inherent beauty of every individual. Witnessing the radiant joy that lights up someone’s face as they glimpse themselves in an image is enchanting – it’s pure magic.

Transform your special moments into lifelong memories with my assistance. Photography should enhance your experience, not stress you out. My attention to capturing intricate details means you can focus on what’s important.
