📌🌿 I’ve been freelancing since 2013, so this season isn’t about learning how to freelance. It’s about finding the right place for the skills I’ve cultivated over the years.
I’m exploring Contra while continuing to grow my client work elsewhere, and it’s been a good reminder that every platform has its own culture, opportunities and learning curve.
There have been a few pivots, a few “well, that didn’t work” moments and a few pleasant surprises. 🍃 More than anything, I’m getting clearer on the kinds of projects I enjoy most and the value I bring to them.
For now, I’m showing up, making connections, refining my services and staying open to what comes next. 🌱
Growth rarely happens all at once. Sometimes it looks like steady roots before visible blooms. 🪷
Signed up on Contra a while ago. Zero views for months.
This week I uploaded some of my works. 🔥
I’m Ilia, a video editor, colorist and cinematographer with 20+ years in the field. Editorial work for Vogue, Esquire, The Rake, SHOWstudio. Based in Montenegro, shooting across the Balkans and UAE. Fashion films, brand campaigns, music videos.
More work going up this week. If you’ve been here longer, what else helped your profile get seen?
Congrats on getting the portfolio up, Ilia! 🎬 That Vogue and Esquire-level editorial polish on the fashion film cuts is exactly what makes a reel pop 🔥
I am a postgraduate in Clinical Psychology with professional experience in paediatric psychology and behaviour therapy.
I am new to the freelance content-writing space and excited to explore opportunities in mental health writing and psychology-related blogs.
I am particularly interested in:
• Mental health and psychological well-being
• Child development and autism
• Neurodevelopmental conditions
• Behavioural and emotional development
• Parent education and psychoeducation
I enjoy transforming psychological knowledge into simple, informative and meaningful content.
Looking forward to learning, connecting and collaborating with professionals and organisations in the mental health field!
