Projects

Two photographic projects, “LINE UP” and “I’M NOT INK,” with an artistic philosophy deeply rooted in the pursuit of simplicity, composition, and individuality. Here is a summary and interpretation of the main ideas:

LINE UP - Align

A project dedicated to simplicity and compositional precision.
• Core Concept: The human presence is transformed into a vehicle of lines, curves, and perspectives, harmonized within the compositional space. The aim is to create images that balance symmetry and asymmetry, fullness and emptiness, with an almost sculptural intentionality.
• Creative Process: Each image is slowly constructed, like a work of art, through a process of continuous refinement. Light becomes a tool for sculpting, akin to marble for a sculptor.
• Philosophy: These are not classic portraits but self-portraits of the photographer—a synthesis of their emotions, emotional involvement, and search for order and inner peace.

I’M NOT INK

A project that explores the human and narrative dimension of women.
• Main Objective: To shift the focus from the body as a canvas for decoration to the individuality of the person. To interpret these models in a way that reveals their personal stories and their identity as women, beyond the stereotypes of being seen as “objects.”
• Creative Approach: A contrast to traditional photographic approaches. The models, often accustomed to being valued only aesthetically on social media, are involved in a process that seeks to uncover their essence and inner strength.

Common Themes in Both Projects
1. Simplicity as Complexity: Simplicity is not a given, but something constructed, requiring renunciation and precision.
2. Slowness and Intentionality: Both projects are an exercise in patience and care, where nothing is random, and everything is built through successive approximations.
3. The Photographer’s Central Role: The image does not merely portray the subject but also reflects the emotional state and perspective of the photographer. Photography becomes a dialogue between the artist and the subject, a collaboration that leads to a harmonious synthesis.

This work evokes a classical aesthetic reinterpreted through a contemporary lens, focusing on the emotional and human value behind the image.
