Colours are what I'm always chasing. If someone were to ask me what makes my photography unique, I would undoubtedly respond that it is colour. To me, colours represent vitality, feelings, and vitality. Sometimes the picture is enhanced by colour alone. preserving memories of the present and capturing it at its best, as well as improving comprehension of a process or phenomenon.

 

A picture captured in time allows us to take a closer look, consider what we see, and ultimately notice something that we may have missed because of its size or intricacy. Photographs simplify reality in a specific way by emphasising a focal point.

My locations are seldom splendid.

Location is not important.
A moment is essential 

In my view photography is not about technical perfection so I am not very keen to improving pictures more than it's necessary. Taking photographs and making them are two different things. Both are creative processes of telling the stories however it tells a lot about how the photographer perceives the world, what is important with such perspective. Certainly choosing a subject or specyfic angle is still playing with perception. It makes photography always an act of creation, no matter if we compose unrealistic scene, which is an exciting imagination trip, or trying to frame a piece of a big picture. 

Since the forest is the thing I cannot live without, nature photos came naturally into my focus. I have always found small living things, plants, and fungus to be really fascinating. These enigmatic worlds are overlooked in our daily bustle but are present at our fingers with an abundance of intricacies, colours, forms, and patterns..

 

I want my paintings to evoke certain feelings and images, like the smell of the soil after a rainstorm, the sensation of the sun on skin in the late summer afternoon, the view of the woodland's thousands of shades of green, or the icy beauty of the winter desert that the lake transforms into on chilly January evenings.

 

These photos are my therapy, mindfulness sessions or escape from ordinariness, ugliness and tiredness. 

 

I have always been looking either down or high up. Never straight forward.

But wherever I am, I make an effort to look around and learn more. And trust me, each time I find something unexpected and novel. Depending on the time of year, the viewpoint, or unforeseen circumstances, the locations vary and develop into something fresh and interesting. Moments are feelings. Life is emotion. Panta rhei.

Nature photography – love from first sight

Macro– and microcosm above my head

and beneath my feet
