Raw shots. We cooked anyway 🧚🏻‍♀️📸Enoshima island - one of the most popular day trips from Tokyo. Is it worth ? 100 percentThis place is quite popular. Just an hour from Tokyo and you are by the ocean. Seafood, beach, nature, ice cream, sunsets , so much chill. I’ve been there quite a lot. And every time feels special. Never got bored - or maybe I just love japan too much, hah.It was trip with my friend @awwmarie , I loved it with all my heart. Amazing conversations, unbelievably tasty lunch, reading books with an ocean breeze, and a stunning sunset in the evening. That is my happiness.And of course one the most important things - on clear days you can see Fuji from there. Is this place a heaven?Here’s the story of one extremely happy day in my life. And honestly? Nothing else needed:) by @kira_zhura

Paradox of - “you are still young”I am 23 , and whenever I talk with people about my goals, worries, etc, they love to say: “Don’t worry, you are still so young. You have plenty of time.”And I actually don’t understand this at all. What they are talking about?Time is our most valuable resource. And omg we have so little of it. Flies like crazy, right? And still we manage to take it for granted, we postpone meetings , dreams, difficult conversations, friends, family, and life itself.But none of us knows how much time we actually have. I have no idea how many countries more I will visit, how many of my goals and dreams I will achieve or at least I will try to achieve, how many cozy evenings I will spend with my family. So if not now, then when? When is the right time to care about your mental and physical health? When is the right time to invest in yourself and assets? When is the right time to build meaningful relationships, and pursue what truly matters?Being young is not a reason to wait.Being young is a reason to start.This day exists now, and there will never be a better moment to live than the one we have today ! by @kira_zhura

Photography is my way of preserving lifeI see beauty in so many things around me - the feeling of the wind on my hand, laughing with a friend over a stupid joke, a kid eating ice cream, a stranger’s lovely outfit, the unique shape of a tree, the light of a sunset, and so much more.I truly love this world and this life. There is nothing more beautiful than living it.So how does photography help me with this?Pretty simple - I want to capture it all.That’s why I love film photography so much. Each photo feels important, unique, and valuable. You know you only have a limited amount of frames, and it makes you appreciate every single one of them. I won’t waste them on just anything or anyone. A great analogy for life, honestly.Sometimes I just want to keep this moment in my memory. No phone. No pictures. Just fully living through it and savoring every second. Or standing there, looking at a beautiful flower in the park, admiring it with my whole heart.I could talk forever about the beauty of life, people, places, moments, thoughts, and ideas. It helps me enjoy each day. It reminds me that time is precious, and that I don’t know how much of it I have.But I do know that I want to enjoy all of it as deeply as possible 🤍 by @kira_zhura

Daisies, youth and happiness 🌿These pictures feel like I went straight out of Pinterest. Like it’s a scene from a movie or the visual equivalent of a Lana Del Rey song. And it describes me so correctly. Just me.We were planning this shoot for quite a while. Not the closest location to Tokyo. Took the bullet train, rented a car, prepared outfits… and it was all worth it. I will recall this day for a longggg time. But you’ll probably get bored reading this huge review, so maybe another time)Here you can see my film photos - actually taken by @kohki , but on my baby film camera. So they still count as mine hah. And when I got them back after this trip, I fell in love - with the colours, with the details, with the moments, with the angles, with the wind, and with the memories.My film photos are parts of my soul and heart. And here I am, sharing my heart with you. Thank you 🤍 take care of it by @kira_zhura

Thank you, Tokyo, for showing me what real life can feel like 🇯🇵More countries and cities are waiting for me. I will travel, I will explore, I will discover so much more.But you… you will always be my second home. You will always have a special place in my heart.Maybe I’ll never find another city where I want to capture everything on film.Maybe I’ll never find food that feels this perfect.Maybe I’ll never find a place where I feel this alive.But I’m so, so grateful that I found you.Of course, I’ll discover new places, new cities…But they will be different.Never like you by @kira_zhura

The story of one fun day near Fuji 🗻We met at 3 a.m. to catch the best sunrise light — and honestly, it was totally worth sacrificing a bit of sleep. It was a long journey, but having coffee with a view of Fuji made it all worth it.Cherry blossoms, other photographers searching for the perfect angle, everyone trying to capture that one special shot. Here are my photos — each of them holds its own emotion, feeling, meaning, power, and memory.I was also shooting on a Leica, which made me feel like a professional (and yes, there’s photo evidence 😄). I’ll share those shots a bit later.There are so many more moments from my life that I want to share with you my dear followers .Lots of love,Kira by @kira_zhura

Way too many Kiras ;)A bit about me :- I drink coffee every single day, don’t even remember the day when I didn’t. It makes me happy , probably I am addicted 😅- I care a lot about my social circle. I truly believe nothing will make you happier than having great people around 🫂 - I’ve been doing journaling for 4 years now ( helps me a lot with thoughts)💭 - I love dark chocolate - 80% my fav. Other then that, I am not much of a sweets person 🍫- I’ve been to Japan 5 times ( loveee it each time even more) and have seen cherry blossoms 3 times already 🌸 I believe that being honest and open to this world would brings you more meaning and fulfillment to life. So I hope some of my posts and words reach someone out there - and maybe make their day a bit better. by @kira_zhura

✨If heaven exists, it probably looks like this…No editing, no music - raw perfection. Some people say that cherry blossoms in Japan are overrated. Maybe. But I have never felt as peaceful as I did in this country, in that exact moment. The moment and the place were so beautiful that I wanted to melt into it. The wind feels like it’s talking to you, the birds are singing about their secrets and cherry blossom petals are floating all around …It is my third time seeing cherry blossom in Japan. Extremely grateful. Each time feels special. I think it is impossible to get tired of it.As you may know cherry blossom season lasts only a week or two. That is what makes it so unique. It is short - so it teaches you to be present. To be grateful. To admire what you have now... by @kira_zhura

One day I’ll say yes!But for now, I have another shooting for amazing wedding dresses.So many styles, colors, silhouettes… and somehow, every single one still feels special. There’s something magical about it.And it makes me wonder — if it feels this way now, what must it feel like when it’s truly your moment 🧚🏻‍♀️ by @kira_zhura
