about

I make slow videos about mornings, skin and small rooms from a flat in Lisbon. It started as a photo a day in 2019.

the long version

No overnight moment. Seven years, one flat in Lisbon and a dog who is in more videos than I am.

  1. 2019A photo a dayI started with one photo of my window every morning, mostly to prove to myself that I could keep one small promise.
  2. 2021The first preset packPeople kept asking how the photos looked so warm. I packed the answer into twelve presets and 300 of you bought it in a week.
  3. 2022I quit the agencyThree brand deals in one month paid more than my job. I gave notice on a Friday and cried on the tram home.
  4. 2024One million of youIt happened on a Tuesday while I was doing laundry. Biscuit got an extra walk.
  5. 2026Slower, on purposeThree posts a week, one letter on Sunday and a shop I am actually proud of.now

rules I keep

  1. 01I only show what I useIf it is on my shelf in the video, I paid for it or I say that I did not.
  2. 02Slow beats oftenThree good posts a week. I stopped posting daily in 2024 and nothing bad happened.
  3. 03You can always write backEvery Sunday letter is a real email. I read the replies, slowly.

thank you for being here, Lena
