Hi! My name is Ioana but most of my friends call me Poppy. I’m from Bucharest (RO) but I’m often on the road, always eager for a transnational adventure.

I love the sun, my friends and the nature around us, all of which I enjoy photographing. The photos in here were all shot on film.

You can reach me on my email or follow me on Instagram - @popssicle - where I post from time to time, when I’m not taking a social media break.

A friend filming another friend in the park, during sunset. Willow tree glowing under the sun. First, a long-haired woman, looking down. Behind her there's a bunch of yellow flowers, taller than her. Behind the flowers there are two girls walking, and behind them there's a stone wall. The sun is shining. A woman is laying in a huge fern bush. She is wearing sunglasses. On a grass field, there are two tents and a group of people taking down a tent. There are yellow patches of grass where the other tents have been. On a grass field, naked and half-naked people are sitting under the sun. A tree with its first leaves, some cables and a house behind the tree. The sky is clear blue. A glasshouse with a lot of plants. There is a little pool with water lilies. In the middle, there's an open door leading to another room full of plants.. On the left there's a woman, in the middle a man and on the right another woman. They are all looking left towards a view outside of the picture. A man, holding a ball and a whistle is looking at a cake, ready to blow the candles. People are singing happy birthday. On the table there's a two objects looking like football trophies. People dancing in pairs in a courtyard. Man singing and playing the keyboard on a stage. Men selling fish in a market. People at the beach, umbrellas, a parking lot and trees. A little girl at the beach. In the distance, the sea and the shape of a mountain. A girl with glasses and a hat is squinting her eyes. In the back there is a yellow van. At the beach, under umbrellas, people are sleeping. Two women sunbathing on rocks. There is a hand-shaped shadow on one of them. A women is walking through a market. On her left there are fruit stalls and there is a vendor. Two friends playing backgammon, photographed from above. One of them is smoking. A portrait of two friends laughing on the beach. An old lady selling jewelry at a fair. She is speaking to somebody. She is resting her head on her hand. A man at a stall, in front of a metro station, selling roasted chestnuts. Two friends laying down on the pavement. One of them is resting her head on the other's shoulders. She is wearing big sunglasses. Both of them are resting their hands on their bellies. A woman is petting a cat at night. The cat is in the middle of the picture. It's night. At a public fountain a person is cleaning their sandals. They are looking at the camera. The fountain is on the left and it has three statues looking like children. Two women are looking into the mirror and doing their makeup. In a club, people are dancing. One woman is singing, her eyes are closed and her hands are up in the air. In the back, there's a sign saying "Fiesta Latina". Two friends are dancing. One of them is barefoot and the other is leaning back and looking into the camera. She is wearing a red dress. The girl in the red dress is laying down on some chairs, resting. She is smiling.
