The series of photographs features conceptual face painting in a studio, with white symbolizing purity and sincerity. The girl wears a traditional Romanian blouse, with a folk motif painted on her forehead, inspired by authentic embroidery. Red and black geometric elements, in cross-stitch style, evoke ancestral protective motifs. The contrast highlights the duality and beauty […]

In this portrait series, I photograph animals as individual characters, using studio setups and careful post-processing to give them personality and symmetry inspired by classical portraiture. I focus on unusual or overlooked species and adapt lighting to their needs. The images blur the line between human and animal, inviting empathy and reflection on our connection […]

The photograph was taken with my 5/4 camera on a late summer’s evening, with a cloudless sky to reveal the true beauty of these iconic structures

Between myth and self-image, a lone gannet crosses a sky of cirrus and moonlight. The bird becomes both portrait and projection: a solitary body suspended between ascent and fall, instinct and imagination. In this self-portrait, the human gaze is displaced into an avian counterpart, as if Icarus had returned not in flame, but in feather, […]

The surviving lift section of the Karnin railway bridge rises from the Peene like a stark relic of interrupted connection. Blown up during the Second World War, the structure remains suspended between engineering precision and historical rupture. The image isolates its skeletal verticality against the open sky, turning a damaged bridge into a monument of […]

Water surges against the massive weir in a study of force and resistance. Fine droplets rise like a veil of pearls before the heavy concrete structure, turning raw hydraulic pressure into a moment of unexpected delicacy. The deliberately square-framed image holds turbulence and form in tension, where softness and impact briefly coexist.

The Seine, churned by a passing boat, catches the evening lights of the city and turns them into a near-infernal spectacle. Red reflections streak across the dark surface like molten fire, while the wake tears through them in white turbulence. Water becomes pure instability: a fleeting theatre of speed, light and urban intensity.

Layered Monstera leaves turn the image into a field of botanical apertures, where one plane opens onto another. Soft focus, droplets and shadow suggest forms that seem to emerge and dissolve at once, as if insect life or moisture were briefly taking shape within the foliage. The work shifts plant structure into a state of […]

Through tonal inversion and a 180-degree rotation, a branch against cloud becomes a root-like apparition, suspended like a flash of lightning before a primordial ground. The image transforms a simple natural fragment into a charged sign of emergence, where sky turns abyss and growth appears as force, fracture and illumination.

Through tonal inversion, a dramatic cloud formation becomes a dark elemental upheaval. The sky no longer reads as atmosphere alone, but as a primordial force, recalling the ancient violence and generative power of the earth itself. The image transforms weather into something almost geological: a suspended mass of pressure, emergence and unrest.
