    Oh these photos look wonderful! They are almost whimsical, the contrasts and the colours are stunning. And your friend had bloody great hair!

    I live in Switzerland, and can’t write in english very well. When I see this page, I don’t see a blog but a book ! A book full of poetry, kindness, love and beauty. You make me dream. Je te remercie ! Bye Coralie.

    you’re so lucky girl. you’re a young mummy, have love, kid and passion.
    i dream about a kid, but in my country situation for young mother is terrible. now i’m 20, i’ll be mother maybe for 5,6 years… so sad.
    nevermind. i love your photography – your pictures are like wind, sunrays and happiness. you’re awesome. :)

    You know, my favorite detail (and I always love the details) in these photos is that she’s barefoot. There’s something so beautifully freeing in being barefooted, especially in environments in which shoes are expected (such as cities). I once wandered Barcelona with one shoe on and one shoe off (long story how I ended up like that, I’ll tell it to you sometime, if you wish), and was given a plethora of strange glances, but sometimes it feels good to have nothing between the ground and your flesh (even if it’s concrete, and even if I was bleeding and hopelessly lost). I love being barefooted on cool porches in summer mornings or dusk. I digress though.

    The first two shots are my favorites, love the backdrops, and the model is so lovely in all of them, not to mention, I’d like to borrow/steal that outfit she has on in the last photos. Yet, the curved staircase is so striking, and who doesn’t love an abandoned mattress in the street? At the very least you can jump on it, and not worry about breaking a bed frame.

    P.S. I kind of wish your posting everyday could go on forever (says the girl who sometimes takes three months or more to update her blog).

    absolutely amazing, so natural and beautiful.

    greetings from Poland :)

    Amazing pictures (as always.)
    Sydney has never been so beautiful.

  25. Monica

    lovely work! as always.
    I’m loving your daily posts, so inspiring. I don’t know if its only me but i can see some difference between these photos (retouching maybe) and your other work, they are a bit different, but really good and lovely just like everything you do :)
    keep inspiring!
    Have a nice day Nirrimi !

  26. Mani

    These photos are lovely, Nirrimi! Makes me realise how much I pass through Sydney without noticing the little details

  28. Hannah Jean

    I love the sixth photo on the steps! The curve of the stairs gives the feeling of being in a dream, where surfaces are not as stable as in the real world. Such a wandering dream you have captured!

    I’m just want to say you are one of the most amazing proof which convince me that journey of our souls stay changeless and so
    embolden to see how truly inspiring (and interesting as well) can be watching how you are evolving through years. You’re lucky that you’ve found yourselves so quickly. But maybe it wasn’t hard at all ’cause yours wander appears begin yonks ago. Alba was with you too. oh, beauty of life of the samsara makes me cry sometimes, really. Watching and reading what you’ve done (both or not) makes me feel glad. I think then: “These all it’s working”. I mean life, circle, universe.

    I’m so sorry for different kind of mistakes, I’m still learning, but I tried from all my heart.

    hey nirrimi, i know its probably not your normal style to blog, but could you imagine to some more “random”, “dailylife” posts? for example like http://bleubirdvintage.typepad.com/blog/ (just an example!)

    you are such an interesting person and i would truly love to see more daily based posts from you!!! :)

    BEST WISHES AND LOVE FROM GERMANY!!!

  36. Andrea

    I love the nostalgic feeling of these:)

  37. Sónia Cunha

    I adore your photography. Having accomplished so much at this age is quite impressive. You truly are an inspiration. I am 20 and I am still stuck and trying to find out whatever. I feel as if I were older and wiser when I was younger. But you look like you’ve never lost the you 14 year old you. Already so mature for your but still as wild as a gypsy.

    I understand how you meant ‘wondering around’. Just because it’s a shoot it doesn’t mean it can’t be fluid and natural, just hopping around, versus a set and such. You saying wondering makes perfect sense!

    Best Regards

  39. Rosie

    I think I remember another photo you took of a girl lying on a mattress in the street? I can’t find it anywhere though. Was it this shoot?
    Anyway, this is amazing, as usual! <3

  41. Riara

    These are beautiful!! I especially love the third and seventh photos, there’s just something about them :) Love the new blog too! ♥

  44. Zoe

    the picture with the leaves is so strong, all of these are amazing

  46. Valtteri

    You are amazing! Love the first and second picture, love the mood and the feeling of the picture.
    Greetings from Finland! :)

  47. Rainy Martini

    Just like everybody else here, you’re my inspiration! I love this post so much because it gives off a very carefree vibe.

  48. Ada

    Oh my!
    I would have never thought that it was just street lamps light! You can control the ambient light very well and certainly make a good use of it.

  52. rebecca

    love these. they are so amazing and so beautiful, just like you, nirrimi.

  54. Jessica

    Beautiful photos. I’ve been subscribed to your Facebook a while now after a friend of mine shared some of your work. When you launched your blog, I knew I had to follow that too. Your work here is so inspiring and it’s caused me to question what I really want to aim for. Thank you for just being yourself and causing such a reaction. Your talent is so obvious.

    My favourite images here at the second and the seventh one. For some reason, they seem the most strong.

  55. Bec

    ah nirrimi these are stunning! don’t see what the big deal about outfit changes are! haha looks like wandering to me. the third one is definitely my favourite but i love them all. and i love the blog! <3

  58. flugvel

    Lighten up Jamie! These photographs are so just so naturally simple, I think that is what makes them so raw and special.

  59. Kat

    Jamie you’re being a closed-minded here, this is a photography blog and most of what Nirrimi posts are her own photos. This post isn’t advertising, she’s just sharing her work on her own blog :)

  60. Jamie

    hi nirrimi,
    It is my opinion that these photos do not seem to indicate that you were wandering, as much as creating a portfolio for a young model. 3 outfit changes equals modelling. I am not holding this against you, though I wonder what could be. Young women in photos, great, for many of your readers/clients/model friends/etc, but these pictures are simply advertising to others like me.

  62. Ketaki

    These are gorgeous! Hoping to see some more unseen photographs from you!
    I love the staircase one! Crazy beautiful.

  63. nirrimi

    hello ada, the only light i ever use in my work is ambient light. usually just the sun, but in this case it was street lamps. :)

  64. Ada

    These are lovely!

    I find the first image quite powerful and strong, mainly due to the dead meat behind the pretty model. I see it as a strong subject to portray or include in images because it is so controversial and creates opinions amongst people, therefore it’s interesting.

    I also really like the few last images, the one on the mattress and especially the one with bare back. The lighting in them is amazing! And here I have a question. Did you use a street lamp lighting or did you have studio lights with you whilst shooting them? I am asking because at uni I am doing a project where we have to use lights to create a single image that looks like a film still. And this is exactly what I thought the second I have seen these two images. They are very interesting and great.

  65. Elisa

    This is amazing! I especially love the last one. Very very beautiful, Nirrimi
