Photograph taken in Lençóis Maranhenses, near Rogerio and Estrela, his mare. On the edge of one of the thousands of freshwater lagoons that encompass the park.

“Lands of transition” I pray for your eye to guide me Allow my skies to become a weeping willow devoid of color Sprinkling figments of spectrum onto the lands of transition Subtling my disobedient winds Quieting my devotion to the air Planting my spirit onto the sand Grounding thy pigments Eroding me to be one with earth To break my alliance with the sky Synesthesia colors inspired by @billieeilish , “gold wing”. Music makes see shapes and colors and i paint the colors in my post processing to highlight my synesthesia. My most recent photograph from this year. I often relate to the sky element, but as I’m getting older I’m starting to look toward the earth element. I seem to gravitate towards uncertainty, change, and a bit of chaos in my life. I’m trying to change that. All and all, my colors are starting to be grounded, and I’m starting to become rooted. That is happiness to me.

As if out of nowhere, this curved head rose from the water and – without any warning – made the moment special. Vienna, 7.6.2025

Standing alone yet resolute, this tree becomes a guardian of Etosha’s expansive desert plains. Captured with 550mm infrared, the scene takes on a dreamlike quality, where the tree’s crown glows in soft pink against a delicate blue sky. This fine art photograph captures the essence of stillness, strength, and the surreal beauty of Namibia's landscapes.

Suðurland is a photographic homage to the abstract beauty of our planet. The series of drone photographs reveals fascinating patterns, colors and structures of the river landscapes in the south of Iceland that are usually hidden from our eyes on land. Natural river courses create abstract patterns and show a unique variety of colors due to enriched sediments. To capture the ever-changing appearance of the braided rivers, I traveled to Iceland multiple times in 2023 and 2024. Suðurland invites you to view nature as a work of art and to rediscover the hidden aesthetics of this unique landscape.

This photo was taken from a bird's eye view and shows a view of a frozen lake in my hometown of Rybnik in Poland. I have been photographing this motif for several years now. I always wait with fascination for this moment when nature creates one-off forms and I am always surprised by it.

It's a nice day for sunbathing!

Conditions were almost perfect for this 30-second long exposure; a dull, overcast day with light drizzle in the air gave the background a nice, soft look.

Lencois Maranhenses is a vast area of sand dunes and freshwater lagoons in the northeast of Brazil. In Portuguese, it means "bed sheet." The allusion to the idea that a white bed sheet has been laid over the landscape. It is a perfect location for minimalist photography, very otherworldly. The colours emphasise pastels but with some patches of greater intensity. All these images were taken in April 2025.

When the noise of the day fades and silence settles over the lake, a cinematic calm begins to unfold. Evening Peace captures this quiet transition between light and dusk, a meditative interval where nature and humanity meet without words. Lines and a restrained palette of yellow and blue structure the scenes, rendering complexity suddenly simple. Subtle compositions invite reflection—and let peace become visible. Photographed analog on 6x6 medium format film in Switzerland.

"Orbit" captures a fleeting alignment between the full moon and the center of a Ferris wheel. The image explores the interplay between human-made symmetry and cosmic movement. With minimal elements — dark space, lines, and a single celestial body — it creates a quiet tension between precision and impermanence. This visual alignment is both accidental and eternal, reflecting the human desire to find order in the vastness of the universe.

Snowy series from the north of the Czech Republic. It is always so thrilling when the first snowflakes start falling from the sky and the landscape becomes white and silent...

The graceful curves of this shop front canopy caught my eye whilst on holiday in Wellington New Zealand.

CASTELLUCCIO DI NORCIA - ITALY An explosion of shapes, colors, and scents. Poppy flowers, lentil, chamomile, and daisy make the flowering of Castellucccio di Norcia something unique and unimaginable every year. A place that, after the terrible earthquake, has never stopped blooming.

The circular window openings create a dynamic facade against the night sky. The bright moon enhances the scene, symbolizing connection and contemplation, inviting viewers to appreciate the harmony between built environments and the natural world.

Shapes of Pools is a photo project that explores the geometry of swimming pools from a bird’s-eye view. Using a drone, the author captures the architectural forms and compositional features of both public and private pools, turning them into abstract visual objects. Each image reveals the unique character of a pool — from keyhole silhouettes to multifaceted shapes — emphasizing symmetry, contrast, and the play of light on the water. The project merges the aesthetics of aerial photography with graphic design, transforming familiar structures into works of art.

A man leans on a blurry glass wall, located in the center of Copenhagen. The blurry glass gave the whole scene a surreal and dreamy quality.

For a short time, the camera captured various people crossing the crosswalk.

This project is also a retrospective on past times, with my own creative intervention in each photograph. Back then, things were different, and in my opinion, although I didn’t experience most of that era, there was a unique charm to it. As I searched through these photographs, I felt a deep sense of nostalgia and emotion for my family. I believe that anyone who flips through an old family album will feel the same way, experiencing the weight of time and the emotions it carries.

Photographed at the Nuremberg Christmas Market.

“Capanne” is an ongoing series studying the symmetry and geometry of the beach huts that stretch for miles along the Adriatic facing shoreline of Lido di Venezia.

These fishing huts with their wonky lamps made for a wonderful set of images, and taken from a different perspective still show the nets, taken somewhere in Italy.

Walking in the sun is a series of three photographs of people walking in the sun, in minimalistic compositions where street photography meets dreamscapes. In each photo there is one element that has an unusual size and serves as an extension for the architectural parts. The goal was to take an existing place and an existing moment and transform it into something more surreal, not only touching the observational eye but also the emotional eye.

The edge of the forest captured using intentional camera movement.

Standing like a sentinel ghost overlooking downtown Tulsa, Oklahoma, is BOK Tower, a half-size version of one of the World Trade Center's Twin Towers that once graced the New York skyline. Built in 1976 and designed by the same architect, Minoru Yamasaki & Associates, the building stands as a potent and solemn reminder of the tragedy.

Pavilion commissioned me to photograph a range of still life to create the marketing materials for Philipa Found’s book ‘It’s complicated’. The brief was to capture messy, complicated love via still life with a vintage feel.
