Zero Photos: 2019 Year in Pictures / by Kasia Trojak

As our second year comes to an end, we wanted to go back and remember all the places and people that our members photographed. Taken either during workshops, events or by the photographer’s personal need to photograph, all images have a special meaning to us and we hope that by re-visiting them here, they take you along on a journey to remember this special year.

2019 was a step-stone and marked the beginning of new projects and hence a new start. I left my job last June and moved to the French countryside to dedicate myself to documentary photo series and the making of a local TV channel that will air on YouTube. These last few months marked a period of serious work and creation, with the aim of looking to reality for inspiration for developing fictional material.

To me, 2019 was the year of traveling and re-visiting Roma communities in the Balkans and France; trying to capture moments of their life and to understand them better

Photography-wise it was a difficult year for me. I spent most of the time in Munich and I do not find the surroundings particularly inspiring. I know you can take pictures everywhere but some locations are definitely better (since I like them) than others. Then a lot of other things happened which changed somehow my perspective on different subjects, in particular time management … hope that next year will be a fresh start.
