Dark

In this series, I delve into the quiet, raw solitude found within both the self and the cityscape, inspired by the high-contrast, gritty style of Japanese photographers like Moriyama. Each photograph is a moment suspended in stark black and white, where light and shadow reveal the contours of introspection. In one image, a figure contemplates by an industrial backdrop, embodying a sense of isolation against a backdrop of looming structures. Another shows the intimate moment of a woman with eyes closed, lost in thought, allowing the viewer a glimpse into her quiet world. Finally, a playful yet haunting interaction with a cartoon figure speaks to the surreal blend of reality and imagination that permeates urban life. These images, stripped of color, aim to capture the raw essence of human presence amid the unforgiving beauty of the city.

The many faces of boudoir …

In the quiet solitude of the shower, she stands confidently, her inked stories glistening with water droplets. Proudly embracing her adorned skin, each tattoo tells a tale of resilience, self-expression, and personal triumphs. As the water cascades over her, she stands tall, a symbol of empowerment, unapologetically celebrating her body and the art that adorns it. With every drop, she revels in the beauty of her individuality, finding strength in the visual poetry that speaks of her journey, challenges, and the unyielding pride she holds for herself.

14mm & Leica SL2S

Utilizing a 14mm lens on a Leica camera for people photography introduces a distinctive, immersive perspective. This combination captures subjects within their surroundings, adding depth and drama to the images. The lens is particularly effective for environmental portraits and dynamic street scenes. However, photographers must be mindful of potential distortions, especially in close-up shots. Despite these considerations, the 14mm lens encourages creative experimentation, challenging traditional portraiture and offering a fresh narrative approach. Overall, it opens up new possibilities for visually engaging storytelling in people photography.
