Our First Book
Milota Pilsēta (Beloved City)
Our debut publication captured Riga from an extraordinary perspective — aerial photographs shot from a rented crane high above the city’s rooftops. The large-format hardcover book revealed Riga’s architectural beauty in unprecedented detail, from Art Nouveau facades to medieval spires.
Milota Pilsēta established the visual standard and format that Time Travel will follow.
