Army Girls

A number of women in history have fought alongside men (of course!!!) and I feel responsible to make a statement about their bravery.
One image to say thanks to all women in the military.

Once again, many thanks to the talents and the crew.

Cognitive Bodies fine art project

The aim of the project is to capture a very sensual collaboration of the human’s body and extreme emotions that expresses both the physical and spiritual harmony. It is to immortalize the beauty of shape, the purity of art and the uniqueness of existence.

Photographer’s job is to emotionally connect with the sitters to be able to recognize and understand what feelings each individual person and its connection to the body can express. At the same time each person involved must have a clear understanding of the Photographers vision that is to deeply concentrate on emotion and the way it can be expressed through the body and its unique language.

Human’s body and its posture disclose both physical and mental mood and state of mind. All good and bad, happy and sad emotions can be read from people’s faces and the way we appear.

Cognitive Bodies

There is always something unique I find in people I work with. There is also something mystical that let my brain relax while on the set or location. I would never ever change and do something else instead for life and for living. It really fuels me 100%. I started working on a new series of nude photographs yesterday and it is something I will be continuing for the next few months as I follow quite intense research :)
