Magic Hats I'm particularly fond of autumn, those suspended moments when the light is magical. The undergrowth behind my house is a magical place. It's like stepping into another world, the world of elves and fairies. That's when I meet my favorite creatures, those magicians of the living world, the mushrooms. Without them, neither trees, forests nor human beings could exist. These "magic hats" are in fact the submerged part…

Quiet Amid the Turmoil Yes, New York City is fast, busy and noisy. Nonetheless, one can find many and varied places in which to discuss, contemplate and play.

Vanishing Venice Different styles coexist in the architecture of this seductive city: Byzantine, Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque. The foggy atmosphere that reigns there leads us to observe how the initial stylistic identity often fades, through conservative stratification, into other forms, changing the original features of the architecture and defining new identities. The “Reappearing Venice” project chooses buildings portrayed with an unusual perspective and chromatic tones as subjects, chosen regardless of the…

Los Espejos (2023-2024) The series is a close inspection of the portraiture elements of classic fashion photography. Shot only on film, mostly in monochrome. Participants are a mix of professional models and ordinary people; those with a sense of or curiosity as to what form of portrait may be painted with the physique as the brush. Multiple examples represent a kind of alter ego for myself, hence the title "Los…

On the "Road of Bones" We are in Siberia, not far from the Pole of Cold. It is winter and it snows, the longer the harder. The roads are, if not icy, then drifted with snow. The trucks have long since given up fighting the snow and are parked on the side of the road, snowed in. We are sitting in a UAZ 452, the indestructible Russian 4wd minibus, and…
