Energy first, then the rest

People buy people first and then they buy things. People notice and like the energy first and then they involve themselves with the object, experience, person.

Isn’t it strange how much effort we actually put into arranging all the material aspects of our life - hair & make-up, outfit, house & place we live, degree, even activities? We’re obsessed to gaining, achieving, arranging this illusion ti portray ourselves in a way we assume is correct, acceptable, beneficial in some sort of way for us. Majority of the effort goes to arranging all those things, creating this life that others will perceive.

Yet we forget the core aspect of this human experience - all that is unseen to the eye, unspoken to the mouth, but completely felt by the body. The essence if it all that no outfit or carrer status can overpower. That very unseen thing is the most noticeable of all. I’m sure you’ve felt if something is off in a person or situation even though everything looked nice and tidy from the outside. I’m also sure you’e experienced the contrary, beautiful feeling covered by not so pleasing visual presentation.

Despite the fact that I’m a visual artist and my job is mainly involved with the visual perseption, the most liked photographs from clients or audience are always those that involve something more than beautiful presentation. Something more that they might not even realise are experiencing and been drawn towards. Something smoothly piercing deeper than the surface, softly taking them into a journey involving their soul more than their eyes.

This is the main aspect of photography in my opinion - to be able to transfer the viewer into another reality by making them feel.

My photography style was born this way and no matter how many other things I try or get confused with in order to fit in, that unique feeling always brings me back. And that unique feeling is exactly what people come to me for, its exactly what they feel without realising it.

Photographing essence is more complicated setting your technical equipment exposure correctly. It involves vulnerability, letting the world sees all that you have inside and taking the risk to hurt you. Despite the risk involved, the price is worth it. Every single time.

Nobody is coming

You’ve heard that before. No-one is coming to safe you. In fact nobody really can. It would have been nice if they could, but that's not how the game is made.

Life is like a sea - sometimes wavy, sometimes calm; sometimes cold, other times warmer. It can move you forward, but it can be your biggest obstacle too. The thing is that, if we don’t learn how to dance with it, we’re most likely to loose the battle.

There are moments, just like the stubborn child, it’s harder to accept it’s all upon us, that if you want the change, you have to make your own steps.

Your first priority

They say, how you do one thing is how you do everything. So how do you do yourself?

Do you speak, treat and think of yourself the same way you do to others? Or are you putting them before and above yourself? Are their needs more valuable for you to fulfil than your own? Why?

Talking, treating and carrying yourself in the best way you can and believe one is deserving of, is not a selfish act. In fact the contrary.

The example you give others by the way you treat yourself is crucial for your wellbeing and all that you receive. It comes from us first - from the inner believe, through the outer expression to the way others are reacting back to us.

Your first priority is yourself.

Then rest follows with ease.

A woman’s body

What an incredible experience!

Constantly changing. Capable to birth life. To expand, to transform and then get back to regularity. To feel truth and transmit peace.

The more I age, or better to say grow, the more I appreciate my female body. Observing carefully - what we like, what we don’t like, and how much all these changes are helping us and the world.

It might look like a men’s world, but we all came out of a women’s womb.

Sexes are not equal, but they’re equally important. Life is a duality, balance is key. Let’s give equally high credits to both parties. And may both know their true role…

Is Sensual the same as Sexy?

Short answer - no.

Long answer - here we go…

Sensual is about engaging the senses - touch, sight, smell, taste, and sound. As engaged they evoke pleasure, intimacy, or deep emotional connection. It’s more about feeling and atmosphere, often subtle, soft, and intimate. Sensuality doesn’t have to be explicitly sexual; it can be present in the way someone moves, the textures of fabrics, or the lighting in a photograph.

Sexy is more direct and overtly appealing to desire and attraction. It’s about being physically alluring and evoking a reaction based on attraction or seduction. Something sexy often has a more explicit intent to arouse or entice.

In photography, a sensual image might focus on soft lighting, gentle curves, and an intimate mood, while a sexy image might include bolder expressions, provocative poses, or revealing clothing. Sensuality can be more about suggestion and feeling, whereas sexiness tends to be more about direct attraction.

More clear now?

This is what I stand for and this is what I offer to my clients - a visual experience where they feel seen, acknowledged and heard, not just photographed with or without they intimate clothing.

Photography is 2 demential form to visualise reality, moments, people. It has power hold by the photographer and inevitably being their responsibility to what and how is captured and shown.

Sex sells, yes, for a lot. But how much would you pay to be fully seen and valued?
