Cooking Lessons in Vienna: A Treat for the Senses

My New years resolutions

Thanks to this blog I managed to achieve things last year that I could have imagine only in my wildest dreams. A few of those things were winning the travel contest and flying to Miami with Austrian Airlines and Chanel asking me to take photos inside the new boutique in Graben.

Besides, I was invited to UK, Slovenia, Greece, Germany and to some beautiful parts of the Austrian countryside. All those press trips and invitations to events made me feel over the moon and made 2015 extraordinary. Having the chance to partner with so many prestigious successful companies is mind-blowing and I wish that 2016 will bring more of it.

My New years resolutions

At the end of this year Bipa asked me which my New years resolutions for 2016 are. What do I intend to do in 2016? I kept it to myself for a long time. I think it’s time to reveal my inner thoughts.

My wish it to work as a freelance photographer (blame it on Instagram). Two years ago, when I started this blog, I was taking photos with my mobile phone because that is all I had. I soon realized that investing money in a DSRL camera was more than necessary. This is how I bought my first Canon Eos 700D as a Xmas present to myself.

After one year, I realized that I need an upgrade and sold my Canon eos 700 D to buy a full frame camera. This is how I got the Canon Eos 6D. Now I really need to upgrade my computer because after 5 years of use, I still wonder how it’s still alive.

All those past years, I didn’t stop to learn. Photographers are like teachers and doctors. They never stop to learn. It’s a non stop learning process. Maybe I should write what I’ve learned during the process in another blog post.

A few words about this blog post. We wanted to create a story of a girl who does a photo shooting in the center of Vienna. When the photo shooting is wrapped up, that girl goes for shopping, buys some flowers, takes the tram and returns home. The outfit should be comfortable, yet elegant. Comfortable black loafers and dark blue pants.

To sum it up:

In 2016, I want to work. I want to make my photography portfolio and an online shop. I would like to improve my photography skills (it’s going to be a battle). I only want to do things that I love.

My New years resolutions

And of course, I want to travel more because during all those cold nights in my little Viennese room I can’t help but dreaming of exotic beaches and crystal waters some where in Bali or in Morocco. I want to be carefree (not so realistic but I want it). Use the hashtag #ichhabwasvor to find out more.

How exactly will all this happen? With a lot of work, persistence, consistency, a lot of luck and support from people who love The Viennese Girl blog as much as I do. Support from my readers and Instagram friends.

I keep saying to myself: New Year, new opportunities! And this is exactly how I want to envision it, in a very optimistic state of mind.

I will end this post asking you this question: How do you envision your 2016? #ichhabwasvor
