Interracial Couples & A Slovenian Photographer

By Leave a Comment

For me, seeing photographs of interracial couples inspires such joy.

Photographs like this one.

A Slovenian Photographer & Interracial Couples

They range from breathtakingly beautiful, to haunting and mystical, to downright quirky and fun.

Regardless of the setting, they feature ordinary people experiencing extraordinary love.

For The Love Of Interracial Couples

That’s where Slovenian-born photographer Matjaz Tancic comes in.

Matjaz TancicMatjaz, or “Matt,” as he is affectionately called, is passionate about photography. In particular, he’s drawn to photographing interracial  couples.

A Slovenian photographer based in Beijing, China, Matt contacted us a few months ago.  He was  in New York City working on some photographic projects.

Matt wrote us and said,

“I am really inspired by your story and the beautiful Swirl community you have created. As a photographer with the eye for everything beautiful, I would be really interested to photograph some mixed raced couples while in NYC. Later on I wish to continue photographing mixed couples also in China and later on in Africa to show the love, beauty and understanding.”

Matt was kind enough to offer free photography sessions to the couples we sent his way.  That’s right – FREE!

He also gave us permission to share the photos on our website and social media.

An internationally known photographer, Matt has been photographing for Vogue, Elle, Marie Claire,  and Fast Company just to name the few.

Woot!

Podcast Interview

Our Adrienne London Leach had the opportunity to chat with Matt about his beautiful country of Slovenia. He also told Adrienne about why he’s so passionate about photographing interracial couples.

Enjoy!

A Wonderful World

A Wonderful World

“We live in a wonderful world that is full of beauty, charm and adventure. There is no end to the adventures that we can have if only we seek them with our eyes open.”

~Jawaharlal Nehru, 1st Prime Minister Of India

 

It’s “Travel Thursday” and we want to inspire you to not just dream about taking a trip or going on vacation this year, but actually do it.

Need some additional inspiration? Click here to listen to a podcast with Dating Coach Lorraine Spencer of Interracial Marriage & Family concerning the importance of traveling.

This year, make sure you have your eyes wide open for opportunities to save money for a trip.

Sure, a new handbag, shoes or jewelry is a great pick-me-up. However, the newness will eventually wear off and those items will become old.

But think about it – the sense of adventure, joys and well-being gained from travel will last forever.

This year, let’s TRAVEL!
