An Interview with Milena
Greetings Ladies and Gentlemen,
It’s Arashrimus / @arashrimus posting.
Here we are on the 4th JJ Editors Interview from its latest Season! Today we’ve got a lively and cheerful interview from an Italian lady who (rightfully) calls herself the Minimalist!
Yes! As you might have guessed, we’ve got Milena ( @milenafrazz / @jj_editor_milena) on board! The Sicilian lady who happens to be in fact very proud of her Unique Italian qualities! So without further ado, let’s begin this!
As I was initially looking at the JJ Editors list I had Milena on my mind for an interview right away! Not only she has been long enough around to be qualified as an integral part of the JJ Family, but she is blessed with an utterly fantastic IG Gallery of her own! I recommend you all to have a peak at her personal gallery at @milenafrazz and you’d be surely amazed by her unique and cheerful perspective regarding to Minimalistic Photography!
Now I’d bet you could never guess how on earth Milena ended up herself in the fabulous world of Photography and Instagram all the same time! Yes… Out of the blue Her own kids got Instagram installed on her cellphone and just like that Milena not only found herself hooked on Photography but she also instantly started sharing her new interest uploaded to the world of Instagram! (Wow! Thanks to your children we now have you as a Blessing on IG! YAY!)
Milena confesses she initially saw mobile photography as a tool to capture her favorite moments throughout trivial things, but it only took her a while to find her true love is indeed the Minimalistic Photography!
Melina’s secret weapons of choice for editing her own photos through her iPhone are Snapseed and Picsart, and as you’ve already read, she is a Mom of two brilliant teenagers and also happens to be a Teacher as well! Milena confesses due to the heavy load of the work she needs to manage on daily basis, she has now chosen Sundays as her photography day! (Aha! So that’s the day in calendar we should mark to anticipate her ever fantastic creations!)
As I was reading through Milena’s answers I have found she is indeed a lady with a very clear point of view in life! I asked if she has any Secrets that she likes to share with the JJ Community and she replied she never has any secrets because she has no fear to express her thoughts! (Aha, That’s the Italian attitude that I Love!), she also never has looked back or regretted on how her life is made as she clearly believes “it’s the life that is needed to be lived” thus she never wants to turn back the clock at any cost!
I also asked if she has a personal motto in life and she kindly let us all know about it this way: “Live Your Life and Let Others Live It too! / Don’t Do Drugs!” (Hmm…I must say I’m personally speechless by Milena’s fantastic thoughts!)
Now let’s find out how Milena evaluates JJ’s motto “Create to Connect” both as a photographer and as a JJ Editor! She sees both as an opportunity to share photographs in order to create positive debates, raise opinions and ultimately to build real friendships above anything else! (That’s a great answer, Isn’t?) Milena also says Photography is always an utterly important matter in her thoughts as she sees it “as the only tool to capture reality just as the way you have seen it in the very moment that you have pressed the shutter key on your camera!!!”
Before we finish off this interview, why not get to know Milena a bit better by knowing some random facts about her? She’s a food lover and happens to love cooking very much as well! Her favorite home-made dishes are the Sicilian Caponata and Arancini! (Ladies! It’s time to ask Milena for Recipes!), Her favorite color is Red and happens to be practicing Running as her favorite sport too! Her inspirations on IG are @ack_bos, @picturingjuj, @hernanmatt & @anna_hilde_lystad!
On the Final note as I asked how Milena interprets herself as a human and she replied that she sees herself as “Unique” soul! & I must confess judging by her answers I’ve also found her as unique, kind and sincere person whose presence is an undeniable force within the JJ Community!
Well, Thank you JJers for staying with me yet through another story of a talented JJ editor!
Be sure to stick around for even more fascinating stories coming up very soon!
All the best,
Arashrimus / @arashrimus
