PHOTOGRAPHY

is like

PAINTING

with

L I G H T,

and

PLAYING

with patterns...

It's a magic of

T I M I N G

and

ATEMPORALITY,

it’s

NOW

and

GONE

and

FOREVER

but also

FOREVER GONE

It’s

PERSPECTIVES

and

MOVEMENT:

a perfect alchemy

of an ephemeral moment

engraved forever.

Portraits are about depicting not only someone’s physical features,

but MOSTLY their inner ones:

a sneak peak into their dreams,

their character,

the things they love…

it’s as much about their inner world

as it is about their outer shell…

Telling a story from a set of images…

capturing the preciousness of certain moments…

… and the delicacy of some spontaneous scenes…

… letting the camera talk about a special event…

… or a daily ritual…

People and places belong to each other:

they mold each other,

recounting each other’s story…

There is an arched passage on the left, leading up to a staircase, decorated with a festive green wreath with red ribbons. Small plants and a lamp are visible near the staircase.

… stories of friendships,

of shared time and space…

… food for thought,

and for the soul…

… portraits of humans

and other beings

complementing each other…

… in harmonious coexistence…

… being one with their surroundings…
