Light And Shadow

A photography collection

Light and Shadow explores the ephemeral scenes created when light and darkness interact with the world around us. Shadows and beams of light become more than simple variations in illumination: they create shapes, objects, and patterns that seem to emerge from the scene itself.

What fascinates me about this approach is its fleeting nature. These shapes and patterns may appear or disappear in the next second, making the resulting scene a unique and unrepeatable moment. By blending tangible objects with these almost phantasmagorical entities, I try to construct new, abstract realities on top of the existing world — scenes that are both familiar and strangely unreal.

The photographs span the period from 2008 to 2021, taken with digital cameras, mobile phones, and medium and large format film cameras.
