The shadows enclose an unknown force; or a mysterious condition... Sometimes, the light takes over this force, and prevails as a mystical and symbolic presence. Other times, the light reveals beautiful urban details and life scenes; and turns on incredible vivid colours.

Shapeshifter #1
Spanish Colonial Churches, New Mexico.
The Spanish missions in the Americas were Catholic missions established by the Spanish Empire during 16th-19th centuries. The central building of each newly established mission was it's church. Made of adobe with walls 3-7 ft thick, they not only played crucial role in establishing visual dominance over the terrain but also became a formidable stronghold during frequent uprisings of native population. Combination of local and foreign esthetic and style created a unique colonial iconography.

The Dance of Youth
In an era where nations clash over dominion and might, there lies a purer, untouched spectacle of joy and freedom. There are places where children chase the simple ecstasy of being young, their laughter piercing through the somber narrative of global strife. Invisible to us may be their faces, their origins, the hue of their skin, or the gods they pray to, yet their message is clear and transcendent. It beckons us to ponder the legacy we're crafting for this new generation. These young spirits,

Geometrías
This candid street photograph was shot on a trip to Valencia (Spain) near the Estaciò del Nord on 17 December 2023. It was the perfect geometry of shadows that took my attention.

Circles of Hope
I photographed this scene while walking the streets of Madrid in early 2021. And although covid restrictions where easing, I found there was still this sense of caution and fear, but at the same time a sense of hope and the possibility of normality in the not too distant future. This image reminds me of that time….Circles of hope rising out of the darkness.

Twilight City #2
City of London at twilight. Multiple exposures on a single frame of Ilford XP2 using a "toy" LomoApparat. With no exposure control, using the exposures to build layers of patterns of shadow and light from deep black to bright higlights. Capturing the sights of the city differently to create a surreal representations of familiar places.

Diga, My Shadow. 4
Diga, My Shadow.
I created this series with a plastic camera and BW film.
After a two hour mountain hike, I found myself on a big dam with nothing there except me, my shadow and blue sky. I shot the only BW film i had with me.
A year later, I decided to go back with the same camera and more BW film. With the same weather conditions, I had fun creating more interesting shadows in this isolated place.
