Close to midnight deep thoughts

February 12, 2025

Still amazes me how Life has navigated me to here. Working on subjects I used to feel uncomfortable with - being around women, speaking my mind, using my body and skin as a light torch in service for helping others like me, like the girl that needed it back there.

“Who am I and what I am supposed to actually do?” are questions regularly passing my mind. “But if not this, then what?!”, a voice replies and encourages me to make just another step forward…

It’s like we pass diferent stages in our life - the pure, authentic soul that come in, to get lost in the externally molded persona supposed to fit in, to get back to that authenticity as the only sane way to live and to be.

Currently reading, observing and feeling a lot about women. Can you tell? About me as part of them. About them as subject of investigation and inspiration. About us as the creative, nurturing force through which that little thing called Life happens.

We’re not talking enough real talks if we’re in such state of constantly seeking it. Thirsty to sense it, hungry to be it. We ignore universal laws, ways of functioning, of being, reasons why things are the way they are.

Our creativity has the capacity to bring to physical form the yet unseen, however the laws of Life, of the purpose of duality will never change. The essential, the core remains. Swimming against the tide is pointless. What you are, who you are, why you’re here is what matters. Rest is societal dust.

Your Body, Your Canvas

December 11, 2024

Who is there for you when no-one is there? Who is taking care of you, holding you tight, moving you forward, nurturing you and giving it’s best to guide and support you?

Your Body.

The Bestest of friends you will ever have. No judgement, no manipulation, just simply a reflection, love and service. Giving you back all that you give it, the choice is yours.

Took me years of physical and emotional pain to realise there’s no-one there but my body. My body, my house, my secret temple, my life diary.

Photographing my body has helped me reach this connection. A connection for belonging and acceptance that I was long longing for. Looking out in all the wrong places to finally look in the mirror and see that all I needed was right here during this whole time, waiting for me to realise it.

Out body is like a clean blank canvas. When we’re born is tight and fresh. With the ears and experiences you mark it with all different colours, chemicals and textures. The picture of our own life gets developed layer by layer, paint brush by paint brush. What we use and what we do with our canvas matters to how long and in what state will live. Why not take care of it to look its best until the end?

Beach Portrait - End of Summer

August 31, 2024

Another summer just went by. It felt short, like it slipped by faster than ever…

The beach is my most favourite places and locations to be. The simplicity it has combined with the peacefulness of the always moving waves give me a sense a home that noting else does. I wanted to use the last heat to create some analogue inspired, b&w portraits.

The result is pleasing both for the beautiful Elena and for me.

HELLO!

Thank you for stopping by!

In my blog space you can find details about my work, behind the scenes of sessions, and any news, tips and info regarding the photography I do.

Here is also the place where you can find more about my fine art nude work and photographs that can’t be published on social media platforms, due to their restrictive t&c.

Sometimes I share personal thoughts, things that I get inspired or moved by, while living my life as a creator and human.

Feel free to leave a comment or ask any question you have.

Enjoy!
