Anima. Portrait #4
The psychoanalyst Carl Gustav Jung believed that there was a feminine beginning, or female part of the psychic setup, in subconsciousness of every man. He gave it the name "Anima", that is "soul" in translation from Latin. In the process of working on creative projects, I tend to resort to a kind of meditation and try to establish a connection with my anima, which is depicted as a nude female figure.

Series: “Shadows of the Past Foretelling the Future”.
Series: Shadows of the Past Foretelling the Future
Palaces, once flourishing and colourful in 1001 night’s opulence are left to decay and what is left is a mere shadow of its previous self. Here, in the region, one finds easily disregarded and abandoned items, these can be empty plastic bottles or cars alongside a road but palaces. “The King is Dead, Long Live the King” when a king dies you abandon the old. The old perishes and becomes a shadow of its own, foretelling of what comes after.

Valley Fire. 5234.
Platinum/Palladium Print, 24K Gold Accent.
This series is part of a long-term project on California’s Nature. With drastic and accelerating conditions of climate change around the world, California has not been spared—experiencing years of historic drought and wildfires. The dark shadows of the constant fire scare are hovering over every part of our everyday lives nowadays, resulting in dramatic shifts in our live styles and pushing us to the limits.

Heavenly Bodies
The Modernist, Brutalist, Internationalist style of the Governor Nelson A. Rockefeller Empire State Plaza in Albany, New York, spectacularly holds and enacts the drama of the elements. In declining light and rising shadows the buildings in the Plaza present compelling compositional dynamics for black and white photography. The triptych presented here is an abstract interpretation of The Egg, a performing arts venue designed by Harrison & Abramovitz and situated on the Plaza.

Humans of Stone Memorial to the Shoah 6
t was already 1 a.m when I was attracted , by this dark space at the hedge of the Tiergarten park in Berlin.
Some kids got scared when they saw my silhouette moving through thousands of granite blocks. I decided to lay down on the cold autumn floor, to translate into images my feelings, this strong presence of the gone, these shadows of men and women who had left for a long trip....Dark shadows, grey and black, yellow of white reflection, cloudy sky, humans of stone, shadows for ever.

This is part of a film noir series that I have been working on. This photo was taken at night in my own office. I rolled my modern day office equipment out of the way to make way for the antiques I received for Christmas. This secretary is in the outer office.

a photo was taken for The Islamic Museum of Art , where I focused on the reflection of the light and sun on the geometric shapes of the building it self.

I am inspired by the principle of shadow theatre. The still life is then photographed on a digital camera and the resulting photos are not computer manipulated in any way.
