Alina Rudya Photography

I photographed my birthday weekend in Sevilla with my , 35mm lens & my favorite Nikon recipes.

Vivid colors, neon lights, stunning architecture – the city felt like a movie set and my photos – like quiet movie stills.

3d photo is probably my favorite because of it strong cinematic feel. What do you think?

Throwback to 2016. I can’t believe it’s already 10 years ago.

I was digging for photos from that year and realized how full it was.

My book Prypyat Mon Amour was published, telling the stories of people evacuated from Chernobyl and the ghost town of Prypyat.

I graduated from the University of the Arts Berlin with a BA in Visual Communication.

Jan and I traveled from Berlin and through Iceland to the US and somehow ended up at Burning Man with & his camp 17 Virgins😅.

I went to the opening of the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro with & Samsung Germany (and felt like a real influencer for the first time), a memory that still feels unreal. Met Alessandra Ambrosio in a restaurant. Ran into Adriana Lima at the airport. The usual.

There was Nepal (I somehow won a spot on that trip, don’t even remember the details - do you, ?). Unforgettable in every sense.

And finally went to Mallorca, just a visit back then. Little did I know that ten years later I’d be living here.

It’s a little scary how fast life moves. Blink once and a decade slips by, carrying more stories than you realize at the time.

How was your 2016? And how far did you come since then?
