Atmospheric Intake
Many of my shots are taken during my travels and I often try to capture similar shots in different locations to the extend that I get confused myself when I look at them not always recognizing where it was taken. This adds to the universal feeling I am trying to convey with some of my shots, photographies with no time nor place.
Through my pictures I am trying to draw my viewers into a peaceful and contemplative state of mind. I wish to share with them the meditative state I am in when I take these shots. Whether it is in the mountain, on the seaside or in town I am trying to create a timeless atmosphere, a parenthesis in time, photographies with no time nor place.

entry description
Through this specific work I am trying to draw my viewers into a peaceful and contemplative state of mind. I wish to share with them the almost meditative state I am in when I take these shots. Whether it is in the mountain or on the seaside I am trying to create a timeless atmosphere, a parenthesis in time where we are still but we can actually see, in the picture, the time going by being recorded.Many of my shots are taken during my travels and I often try to capture similar shots in different locations to the extend that I get confused myself when I look at them not always recognizing where it was taken.

about the photographer
I have been doing photography for over 20 years, gradually developing a more structured approach to my favourite subject matter, landscapes, and to the medium of photography as a whole. Visiting far or near places and trying to bring back a unique version of its mood and energy has indeed always been a fascinating process for me. I have been dwelling on the BW medium and long exposures techniques to support a minimalist and sometime abstract approach to my photographies.Through my pictures I am trying to draw my viewers into a peaceful and contemplative state of mind.
