📸✨ 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 withyou. 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.

Imagine planning a photoshoot in a poppy field. 🌸You visit the location in the morning, everything looks perfect, and since poppies bloom for such a short time, you know you have to act fast.Then, in the evening, when it’s time to shoot and your model has arrived for a paid project, you realize the poppies are gone. Completely gone. 🥹That moment when you know you have no choice but to move forward because cancelling isn’t an option.That moment when Plan B has to take over.🫢The kind of moment that reminds you to grow as a creative and accept that not everything is within your control. Sometimes nature has plans of its own.While editing these images, I caught myself thinking:Well, everyone has photographed red and purple poppies. But how many people have photographed a poppy field after the poppies disappeared? 🍀And somehow, that’s exactly what makes these photos special to me. 😄 Photos @jovanarikalo Model @vanjajagnic Dress @chotronette For my Online masterclass, comment water or link is in bio! ~portraitphotography #dreamyportraits by @jovanarikalo

Today I turned 37 🧚🏼‍♀️The funny thing is, I still feel 27. I still get excited about the little things, the unexpected moments, and the magic hidden in everyday life.🎂 I’ve always loved celebrating birthdays because they remind me of something extraordinary: this was the day I arrived here to live. The day I took my first breath and became connected to the world.Every birthday feels like a gentle reminder to be grateful for the journey, the lessons, the people I love, and all the beautiful moments still waiting to be discovered. 🌸Here’s to another year of wonder, growth, and finding magic in the smallest things.

3 Mistakes I Wish I Knew Before Photographing in Water 💦Mistake #1: Choosing lakes and rivers instead of a controlled setupWhen I first started shooting in water, I always used lakes and rivers. The problem? Water covers a huge area, and everything moves constantly.Now I prefer using a bathtub or even a small inflatable pool.Why?✔️ Better control over the model’s movement✔️ Flowers and props stay where I place them✔️ Less unwanted drifting and repositioning✔️ A much cleaner, more polished final imageSometimes the simplest setup creates the best results.Mistake #2: Forgetting the essentialsIn the beginning, I focused so much on the creative side that I forgot about the practical side.Always bring:🧺 Towels👕 Extra clothes🧥 Warm blankets or robesYour model’s comfort and health come first. A relaxed model will always create better images than someone who is cold and uncomfortable.Think ahead, especially if your location is remote or the weather is unpredictable.Mistake #3: Not explaining the concept before going underwaterThis is a big one.Once the model is underwater, they can’t hear your directions. They’ll only see your lips moving.Before the shoot starts, clearly explain:✔️ The poses✔️ The transitions✔️ Hand signals✔️ The exact moment you want them to change positionGood communication before entering the water will save you time and frustration during the shoot.What’s the biggest challenge you’ve faced with water photography? 💦👇———In my Aqua Muse Masterclass, I share how I create magical water photographs, how to control the elements, and the mistakes that can ruin a shoot before it even begins. 🧚🏼‍♀️ Comment WATER and I’ll send you a 20% discount code for the masterclass. #waterphotography #howto by @jovanarikalo

🧚🏼‍♀️What if we protect our love from the voices of people who never even stepped through our door, yet still speak about it?What if all we truly want is to live — because living also means fighting for what matters.💃🏻 We chose to dance among flowers and under the rain. Sometimes beauty and pain exist together, close enough to touch, yet never destroying one another.After every thunderstorm, the fields bloom even brighter because they needed the rain to grow.Maybe love is the same. 🫂Maybe we need both the storms and the softness to become stronger.And that is why we will fight for it and wear our wings of love. 🦋Photography @jovanarikalo Models @katarina_zec @art_makarow_ Dress @lacemadeofficial use code jovanarikalo for a discount Wings @noakuf #creativephotography #artphotoshoot #poppyfield #canoncreator by @jovanarikalo

Creating personal projects and creating for clients are two completely different worlds.✨ Every client experience begins long before the photoshoot itself — with consultations, understanding their vision, planning concepts, designing or sourcing props, building scenes, photographing, and carefully editing every final image.I don’t offer a typical one-hour photoshoot.I create an experience that can last one or two weeks — a process where imagination becomes reality. 🧚🏼‍♀️ In a world filled with AI and artificial perfection, give yourself something real.Show your true face to yourself.Book your experience.Photography @jovanarikalo Thanks @tandrbal for making every scene alive, @darko_rikalo for smoke effect and all the effort, @noakuf for best props! #clientphotoshoot fineartexperience by @jovanarikalo

🫂 What if the old version of you stayed trapped forever inside a reflection and four walls…A place that feels like life, but is only an illusion — a carefully built image.You can see the world around you, yet the walls you created became too high to escape.🧚🏼‍♀️ What if years pass, and you remain stuck in the same habits, the same story, while a new version of you was waiting all along — but you didn’t see it in time?Don’t let your future self meet the old one only to remind you that you could have stepped outside your comfort zone — your own limits, not everyone else’s.🤫 This project is a reminder that even the simplest prop can hold endless meanings.One piece of glass became a portal between past and future, illusion and reality, comfort and growth.A prop is never just one idea. ⌛️It can transform into countless visual stories, emotions, and worlds — if you allow yourself to see beyond the obvious.Photography @jovanarikalo Models @predrag_tomasevicc @labanovichttps Prop @noakuf Camera @canonemeapro R6 mark III #creativeprocess #artphotography #photoshootideas by @jovanarikalo

✨ Don’t let your old self stay trapped inside the same bubble for too long.The longer you stay in one place, the more comfort turns into habit, and habit slowly becomes your reality. Days pass quietly. Then years. And one day, you realize life moved forward while you stood still.Be present. Change your routine.Try new things. Meet new people. Go outside. Create memories. Take risks. Allow yourself to grow beyond the version of you that only survives instead of truly living.📷 Because one day, you will meet your older self in the reflection of your own life. And that version of you will either thank you for trying… or remind you of all the time you lost being afraid to begin.🫂 Don’t wait until it feels too late.Life keeps moving whether you move with it or not.We always carry three versions of ourselves:the person we used to be,the person we are today,and the person we are becoming.Make sure your future self can look back and feel proud of the journey you chose.NO AI! ‼️More of my work jovanarikalo.com - Link in bio 🧚🏼‍♀️Photography @jovanarikalo Models @labanovichttps @predrag_tomasevicc Prop @noakuf Camera @canonemeapro #creativephotography #fineartphotoshoot #conceptualphotography #madewithphotoshop by @jovanarikalo

✨ Reflections.When you look into the mirror, do you truly see yourself?Or just the version shaped by noise, expectations, and fear?There’s a strange kind of freedom in letting go —in floating through soft energy, untouched by the weight of who you think you should be.

📝 Planning each project is one of my favorite parts of the creative process — from concepts to props, every detail shapes the final vision.📷 Today I’m creating with the Canon EOS R6 Mark III, paired with the RF 28–70mm F2L for the versatility to move seamlessly across completely different scenes while capturing cinematic detail in every frame.Movement is a huge part of my storytelling, and features like 40fps electronic shutter and pre-continuous shooting make it easier than ever to capture those fleeting, atmospheric moments.📽️ Exploring video has pushed my creativity even further — with stunning 7K quality, I can create immersive, dreamy visuals that bring stories to life exactly how I imagine them.Photography @jovanarikalo Model @milavlaisavljevic #CanonCreator #ad by @jovanarikalo
