New project feature on Leica Fotografie International

The March edition of LFI (Leica Fotografie International) is featuring some of my color shadow work alongside an article about me! I am very grateful to the Leica team for interviewing me, and helping me sort out my images into a coherent project. The result is quite interesting.

You can find the issue (print or digital) here for pre-order: https://lfi-online.de/ceemes/en/magazine/lfi-magazine/

As well, you can find my interview on the LFI blog.

Let me know what you think!

Illusion of being: Project published on LensCulture

I have very good news to announce: my  latest project was published on LensCulture following editors' review! This is a very short series, merely ten images. I was interested in what we hide, as human beings, in our longings for being ourselves, and for closeness with others.

"London, Soho, 2015. This series explores transience in human beings – the fleeting essence of human life, filled with hopes and longings. Acting as an extension of their inner self, the city transforms my subjects to expose their masks and loneliness. Using light as metamorphosis, my images play with illusions and disguises: illusion of closeness, of singularity, of significance."

I hope you will enjoy. Let me know your feedback!

Showcasing my favourite 2015 street color pictures :)

Color photography this year has much extend beyond what I have done so far. I have tried very hard to master color street photography, since this doesn't come as naturally to me as black and white photography. That being said, the path is still long, and I still have much to master in the years ahead! Here's a selection of images that I particularly like from last year, closing a chapter of my new life in London.

Enjoy the slideshow below!
