Bogota at night, 2025
≪ I have always had an endless love for cities that come alive at night, and Bogota has given me, I believe, one of my most beautiful photos. The architecture stands out in the darkness, the flow of cars becomes a living rhythm, and the lights blend in with the shadows, capturing the very essence of what I love. What touches me about this photo is the way the colors and atmosphere seem to hold a moment in time, as if the city were trusting me with its secret. ≫

Punk's Peak
≪ This photo was taken during Punk's Peak, a hill climb race organized as part of Wheels and Waves. For the past few years, the organizers have trusted me to shoot the festival's highlights in my own style. This year, I chose to experiment with Redscale film, which I felt was especially in tune with the mechanical world and spirit of custom motorcycle racing. I also like to work with speed blur effects, and to accentuate this impression of speed while adding a more abstract dimension, I deliberately positioned myself away from the crowd. ≫

≪ Taken on the shores of Lake Sevan in Armenia, this brightly colored cowherd guards his cows. In the distance, the lake sparkles and between the two ruins lie the remains of the USSR. Strange proportions between gigantism and the feeling of scale models. ≫
