Fleeting Reflections: Access, Obsession, and the Discipline of Patience

The only reason I’ve been able to listen so closely is because the place is accessible to me. I can get there. I can walk it. I can return. I don’t need a flight, a permit, a week off, or a 4 a.m. hike. I can go when I have 40 minutes. I can go when the light is “bad” by conventional standards. I can go when it’s raining and the surface of the water turns to hammered metal.

Foreground blurs

In photography, what lies out of focus can play a subtle yet powerful role in shaping the atmosphere of an image. Blurring the foreground doesn’t distract from the subject; rather, it can help guide the viewer’s eye, evoke a mood, or suggest an emotional layer that sharpness alone can’t always convey. At the core of photography is the pursuit of moments that can be transformed into meaningful images. And blurs can become part of that search — subtle tools that help transform a simple scene into an image that not only shows, but truly expresses and suggests.

Black-and-White Photography: When Nature Speaks Louder

I have always felt that the important thing is not to show everything, but to show what truly matters.

“Simplifying reality and taking it to the most essential so that the wild character of nature … takes center stage.”

This means I aim for a gaze, a silhouette, or a gesture to be enough to tell a story. When I work in black-and-white, I want the viewer to connect with the strength of the moment without distractions, as if they could hear the silence of the instant.

Extreme Exposures

In my photography, I aim to convey the impressions and emotions I experience in nature. Along the way, I have found myself drawn to the extreme ends of photographic techniques, be that ultra-wide or super-telephoto, blackout or whiteout, long shutter

Wide-Angle Macro Photography

Using a wide-angle lens to capture a small subject within its natural habitat can be a powerful way to create immersive, storytelling images. By including the surrounding environment, this perspective transports the viewer into the scene, making them feel part of the subject’s world. It not only reveals the subject’s fine details but also places them in context – highlighting the delicate balance between the organism and its ecosystem. The result is a visually striking image that invites the audience to step closer, allowing them to experience the world from the subject’s point of view.

The Art of Motion and Light: A Journey into Wildlife Photography

In a world that chases sharpness and technical perfection, I’ve chosen to embrace something different – motion, light, and emotion. My wildlife photography isn’t just a way to document the world as it is – it’s a way to interpret, to express, and to invite others into the stories I see in the wild. It’s my personal language, one that speaks not only through subjects but through how they move and glow under nature’s changing light.

Minimalism Through High-Key Photography

Minimalism in photography isn’t about having less; it’s about revealing more by removing what are, in my opinion, distractions. It’s about creating space: space for the subject to breathe, and space for the viewer to pause and feel. In the following section, I’ll share a few practical tips I often use to bring simplicity into my work. They’re not strict rules, as the creative mind doesn’t fit in a box or, in terms of photography, a grid, but guiding ideas to help you focus on what matters in an image. Think of them as suggestions, things that work for me but might not necessarily work for you. This is simply my perspective. A vision. Minimalistic. Imaginative. Two-dimensional.

No More Naps

Aside from the fascinating patterns, structures, and light displays waiting to be discovered, photographing in these kinds of conditions also pays off in terms of equipment and technique. The bright light during a sunny day will result in very fast shutter speeds.

Therapy for Mind and Soul

In nature I can switch off and leave everyday life behind. The first chirping of birds before sunrise, the intense glow of mountain peaks in the last light of the day, the gentle pattering of rain on the leaves in the forest, when wisps of mist mysteriously drift across the landscape, or the colorful northern lights dance in the night sky – all these moments are of incomparable beauty to me.

What Makes a Good Astro Image?

With the constant pressure from social media, people often forget the most important part: enjoying the experience. At the end of the day, astrophotography is about getting outside and experiencing the night sky. Whether it’s lying on the beaches of Crete and watching the Milky Way set, or braving the Arctic cold to witness the Aurora Borealis, the goal remains the same — to connect with and experience something greater than ourselves.
