i guess i should do a little intro of myself, i'm emilia!
i'm a 2nd year phd candidate doing research on chess and soft power diplomacy, i also run a nonprofit called the Women in Chess Foundation, and i am a photographer and social media manager for chess players/tournaments

i've been mostly conveying my finds in the archives about the 1954 chess olympiad to my friends like it's the juiciest gossip
I am the official photographer for the private match between GM Felix Blohberger vs GM David Navara.
Surprisingly this is my first gig as an ‘official photographer’ for a chess match!
Very happy to have the opportunity to capture these incredible moments between incredible players ♟️✨
