🌿 Behind the scenes vs. the final image.
In the age of AI, I still fall in love with the process—the connection, the world-building, the quiet magic of creating a scene by hand.
I use AI as a tool inside Photoshop, to shift elements, refine composition, and experiment.
But nothing compares to watching a vision come to life in front of your eyes. That feeling can’t be replaced. 📸

✨ January was filled with snow, and I took full advantage of it—capturing countless images where the white landscape became part of the story. These @teutamatoshi dresses blended beautifully with the snowy backdrop.

Keeping the whites of the snow and the dress visually distinct was a challenge, but by carefully working with shadows and highlights, I was able to separate them and preserve detail.

For this project, I used @sigmaadria 50 mm f 1.4 lens to capture details in portraits so well ❄️

📸✨ Today is a very special day... After years

📸✨ Today is a very special day... After years of traveling the world, teaching live workshops, and meeting so many talented photographers in person, I’m beyond excited to finally share something deeply meaningful with
you. Aqua Muse, my very first online Fine Art Photography Masterclass, officially launched on January 17th.

This masterclass was created with one clear intention: to open my entire creative process and make fine art education accessible to photographers everywhere, no matter where you are or what stage you’re at. 🕯️

If you’ve ever felt called to create more intentional, emotional, and meaningful work, this is your invitation.

💡Aqua Muse is not just about learning techniques. It’s about learning how to think like a fine art photographer and trusting your own creative voice.

Thank you for being here, for supporting my work, and for allowing me to share this journey with you. I can’t wait to see the stories you will create. ❤️🥹🥰

✨ My first Fine Art Photography Course is officially live!

💦 The first chapter is called Aqua Muse — an immersive masterclass dedicated to creating magical, cinematic water portraits and building a complete fine art scene from vision to final image.

Many more courses will follow, but this one marks the beginning.

Internationally recognized fine art photographer Jovana Rikalo invites you into her creative world in this exclusive online masterclass.

📸 Aqua Muse is a complete, step-by-step guide that reveals how an idea transforms into a powerful, emotionally rich, fully edited fine art photograph. You will witness the entire creative process — from the first spark of inspiration to the final artwork.

This masterclass is designed to help you create with intention, confidence, and artistic depth, not just take photographs.

Inside this course, you will learn how to:

• Develop a strong and compelling fine art concept.
• Prepare a photoshoot with clarity, purpose, and storytelling in mind.
• Choose the right model and direct them with confidence and sensitivity.
• Design immersive scenes using real locations, props, and dresses.
• Shoot on location using natural light only.
• Understand camera and lens settings in real, unpredictable conditions.
• Select images with a refined fine art mindset.
• Edit a fine art photograph step by step in Adobe Photoshop, from raw file to final artwork.

🧚🏼‍♀️ Aqua Muse is not just a course — it is an invitation to see differently, create deeper, and turn imagination into visual poetry.

Launch offer available for the next 48 hours 💡⌛️

❄️ Do you know that when one door closes, another one opens? The same is true for art and personal style. When you create the same thing over and over again, there comes a point where it turns into habit rather than creation. That’s when change becomes necessary—to bring freshness back into your work and allow yourself to grow.

Ask yourself what could gently push you out of your comfort zone.

✨ These photographs were created in the middle of a powerful snowstorm here, and it makes me a little sad knowing the snow is already slowly melting.

✨ Since the very first moment I opened my eyes, I have seen the world differently. I knew I was here to create — not only through vision, but through every tool that helps bring imagination to life.

Creation begins with an idea, followed by vision, then the camera — and finally the tool that allows all elements to come together exactly as they felt in the moment.

🖊️ A professional monitor is not just a screen. It is a way of seeing the world with the same creative eyes you have on set.

A place where details reveal themselves, colors come alive, and the vision stays true. 📸

Stay at the end of a video because you will see how I was edited when started with photography back in 2013, in my small room full of ideas and passion.
