Welcome to Josephine's Blog

You don’t have to see the whole staircase. Just take the first step. – Martin Luther King Jr. [photo location: Bur Dubai Souk] I walked up the steps and saw a hidden door at the top left of the stairs leading to somewhere I’m not sure. I didn’t want to open it. This is how I […]

These are probably my favorite photos from when I first started photography and would best describe my style: dreamy, nostalgic, natural, romantic and feminine.
