WORLD IS ANALOG

Male Nudes 

Square

The square medium format is one of my favorite ways to work;

I embrace it for its distinct retro aesthetic and the unique compositional possibilities it offers

A raw and intimate exploration of the masculine form.

These images bridge the gap between classical aesthetic and contemporary reality, captured with an honest, documentary-style lens that celebrates the strength and vulnerability of the male body.

Double exposure

I am drawn to subjects who look directly into the lens, creating an immediate and raw connection. Through intentional analogue techniques, I use the medium itself to peel back the layers and reveal the soul behind the gaze.

Creating one-of-a-kind images using analogue double exposure directly in the camera. This process always yields an element of surprise, resulting in unexpected and captivating visual outcomes.

Capturing the fleeting moments and unique atmospheres of urban life, from the vibrant grit of South Africa to the historic streets of Prague and the bustling energy of Asia.

Behind the Scenes

A candid documentary look into the world of adult gay cinema. These photographs capture the authentic life on set, stripping away the performance to reveal the real moments and personalities behind the production.

Hlaf-frame series

Utilizing the half-frame format where two consecutive shots are captured on a single standard 35mm frame. This technique allows me to document an unfolding sequence, creating a cinematic narrative and a unique visual dialogue between two moments in time.

An analogue technique involving shooting through the back of a negative film, which intensely shifts the color spectrum. This process bathes the image in deep, evocative tones of red and orange, creating a surreal and transformative visual atmosphere.

B&W

By stripping away the distraction of color, black and white photography allows for a purely artistic focus on the subject. It emphasizes texture, light, and form, directing the viewer’s eye toward the raw essence and narrative content of the image.

CrossProcess - X Pro

By intentionally using the wrong chemical process to develop film, I achieve high-contrast, expressive color shifts. This technique transforms reality into a vivid, surreal world with a distinct and raw visual impact.

Banality

I love highlighting seemingly insignificant objects and everyday details, revealing the inherent magic and quiet beauty found within the ordinary.

Asia

From the vibrant street life of Laos, Thailand, and Myanmar to the mystical silence of Buddhist temples. This series captures the diverse energy of the region, blending raw urban reportage with the spiritual atmosphere of sacred spaces.

Landscape

I am drawn to unconventional views and the interplay of light, especially when backlighting filters dramatically through the textures of branches and foliage.

Youth

A series of detailed facial portraits of young men. These close-up studies focus on the raw features and individual character of each subject, capturing the fleeting essence of youth through an intimate and focused lens.
