I previously posted a colored version of this same angle but a different long exposure. I figured it was worth going back and doing one silver and black from the rest of the lot. I went back and forth with this one and another exposure. At the end of the day this one was more striking, so I went with it. This is Boston's best skyscraper in my opinion, we could use a couple more like it.

We were out photographing and we were walking in the city Xanten, suddenly out of nowhere this leaf fell on the ground and it just lay there. I grabbed my camera and shot the leaf, this is a once in the leaf lifetime opportunity.

I was treated to golden light from the later afternoon sun, while coming down off Snowdon on the Watkin Path. Snowdonia National Park, Wales.

Captured in a fleeting moment of pure stillness, this pelican's gaze seems to pierce through time itself. A silent monarch of the waters, sculpted by light and shadow.
Black and white wildlife photography focused on texture, emotion, and presence.
Shot with a long focal length to isolate the subject against a naturally dark background, creating a dramatic and timeless portrait.

studio. the room is black. absolute silence. a wooden chair. a child, perhaps two years old, dressed in ribbed blue. the light strikes from the side, sudden and sharp. it is not a gentle light. the child reaches out into the void. the mouth is open, a cry or a song frozen in time. we do not know the cause. there is only the action. a raw, unfiltered expression of will. captured on medium format. the moment is held, undeniably.
A solitary pilot stands beside a Mitsubishi A6M Zero, suspended between memory and silence.
Far from the noise of airshows and machines, the image explores the fragile relationship between man, history, and the ghosts carried by old aircraft.
The dramatic monochrome treatment seeks to evoke not war itself, but the weight of remembrance and the passage of time.

Maëva imagine des histoires, Marine les fait vivre. Pour une fois, je les retrouve toutes les deux dans la même image, sans scénario apparent. Juste une bougie, un peu de silence et ce geste de Maëva, presque imperceptible, qui change tout.
J’aime cette lumière qui ne montre pas tout. Elle réchauffe les visages, laisse les contours dans l’ombre et donne à cet instant quelque chose d’un peu suspendu. On pourrait être au milieu d’un film, juste avant une confidence, ou après des mots qu’on n’a pas osé prononcer...
EN Maëva writes stories, Marine brings them to life. For once, I find them both in the same frame, with no obvious script. Just a candle, a little silence, and that almost imperceptible gesture from Maëva that changes everything. I like the way this light refuses to reveal it all. It warms their faces, leaves the edges in shadow, and gives the moment a feeling of being suspended in time. It could be a scene from a film, just before a confession, or after words that were never quite spoken.

Good Stewards of Nature
Wrapped in layers of fabric and time, this enigmatic figure carries the weight of untold stories. His gaze, hidden yet piercing, speaks of resilience, survival, and a life woven with mystery. Every texture, every thread, and every shadow tells a tale—one that invites the viewer to look closer and wonder.
(Over the next two weeks, I'll be sharing a series of street shots, featuring both portraits and street scenes, from my past visits to the Philippines where I immersed myself in street photography.)
Observing this macaque in a moment of quiet contemplation, I was struck by the profound humanity visible in its upward gaze. There's something deeply moving about the way these intelligent primates pause and seem to reflect on their world, looking skyward as if searching for answers or simply lost in thought.
I chose dramatic black and white lighting to emphasize the sculptural beauty of this remarkable face and to create an intimate connection with the viewer. The low-key approach strips away distractions, focusing entirely on the emotion and intelligence visible in those soulful eyes and gentle expression.
What captivated me was the universal quality of this moment - that sense of wonder or contemplation that transcends species barriers. This macaque's upward gaze reminded me of our own human tendency to look to the heavens when we're pondering life's mysteries or simply appreciating a beautiful moment.
My intention was to capture more than just a wildlife photograph, but rather a portrait that reveals the emotional depth and individual personality of this remarkable creature, hoping to inspire greater appreciation for the complex inner lives of our primate relatives.

A girl stands calmly beneath an umbrella as glowing steel wool sparks rain down in this dramatic long exposure shot, taken in front of an old abandoned fire truck.
An apple a day, keeps the doctor away....
In a dark studio where the laws of physics seem negotiable, a green apple hangs suspended in mid-air while a carefully aimed blade divides it into perfect segments. Built around timing, illusion and a touch of visual trickery, the image transforms an everyday object into something that appears impossible. Sometimes photography is less about recording reality and more about convincing the eye to question it.
Fun fact: The human brain is remarkably willing to accept visual illusions. When lighting, perspective and timing work together, a still photograph can make impossible events appear completely believable, at least for a moment.
Strobe info: 2 Elinchrom 400WS lights wtih softboxes places on both sides of the model approx 45° angle.
I tested triggertrap for this project.

Taken under the unforgiving midday Spanish sun, I chose to embrace the contrast rather than fight it, creating a low-key portrait that lets the natural light define the image.

As it seems that not only the Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon itself is very photogenic, but also its surrounding. As I was heading for the sunset to the lagoon, I noticed wonderful and absolutely still reflection in one of those small ponds that are along the road towards the lagoon. Who would not stop for scene like this.

It was a very dark and rainy week. The sun was nowhere to be found...for days. Clouds and overcast weather systems rolled by endlessly, with hardly any color in the sky at all. We were blanketed by a low cloud-covered ceiling. It was a very good opportunity to do some black and white images with some textures and moody feeling. What else was I going to do? I didn't need my sunglasses and there was no glare...anywhere. I had to "time it" between the constant showers that were all over the place. It was gloomy and different...yet still fun. The sun will come out tomorrow.

Timelapse movies had become my new way of capturing my travels besides regular photography. Latest trip in Scotland had been very challenging in regards to very bad weather conditions, however I still managed to capture some places without being flown away by gale strong winds or washed down by apocalyptic rain.
