INVADERS (2015-2023)
The presence of plastic in our waters poses a significant threat to our delicate ecosystem and stands as one of the foremost environmental challenges of our era. To shed light on this pressing issue, I have creatively transformed the objects I found on the shores of the Mediterranean into vibrant, friendly creatures. However, behind their inviting appearance lies a crucial message, urging us all to take notice of this universal problem.
Saurópolis - Pioneer use of a mobile phone camera (2005/06)
The streets of Poblenou / BCN. A rather poetic view of a barrio in transformation. Images made with a Nokia N90 (2MP) mobile-phone camera which produce a kind of pictorial quality and a lot of "grain". It was very exciting at the time to print those photographs big size (up to 2m) and use them for my book project Saurópolis. This has not been done before, there was definitely new ground to explore.

BCN FASHION BEACH - Barcelona Beaches 2007/08
Summer beaches of Barcelona present a symphony of chaos and colors and my intention was to add a touch of poetry and humor to it. Riding a fine line between intimacy and exhibitonism. It was my definite step into digital photography, using a mirror-reflex camera with a rather long lens (180mm) on this occasion. (I decided to be visible and noticably part of the scene).
WHAT'S TRUE - Painting with light (1999-2000)
On my trips on assignment I used to take some time off when ever possible to explore cityscape scenarios at dawn. I was looking for unexpected results by doing long exposures and camera movements. Keep in mind that at those times you only saw the results when the slides got delivered from the lab, which always was an exciting moment. Original work on color slides.
