Jovana Rikalo's project "Long Dream" was shot on her trip to Vienna. Before the whole shooting, she found this beautiful backyard and was speechless by the beauty! All the leaves and old buildings..

Then I contacted one girl Nejla, who were my model, she is so beautiful and we created the long dream project. I imagine it like a fairytale, that's why I added a snow effect, to feel magic.

I am inspired by fairytales and I am creating fairytales in a real world, with real models and telling stories. It's so interesting to see how every person understand my photos differently. Also, with this series I wanted to create a long dream, when the time stops and the girl dances with the nature..

I am a fine art and portrait photographer. But I also shoot fashion and commercial. I like to create unreal situations in the real world, and tell surreal stories with my camera. My mission is to create images that look unnatural, but feel real. My inspirations are many talented photographers like Rosie Hardy, Oleg Oprisco, Tim Walker, Kirsty Mitchell, Katerina Plotnikova etc.

Be yourself and shoot everyday. Find what inspire you and follow that, your dreams. Find your own style and don't let people brings you down. I used a Canon 5D mark III; Canon 135 mm f 2.; 85 mm f 1.8 and sigma 35 mm f 1.4 lenses.
