I was born on 16/02/1973, at Pitesti - Romania.
I started photoghraphy quite late, no more than four years ago.
I never forgot the nights in my childhood when I was assisting my father in the bathroom,
developing black and white negatives and prints.
I never forgot the magic of the white paper becoming a image.
Unfortunately I was never able to dedicate too much time to photography at that time.
Now I'm trying to reconcile my professional career, my family and this personal hobby,
an activity that takes up almost all of my free time.
I am shoting mostly digital since at this time is more convenient for me and my very
little free time. Anyhow from few months I've started to taste also film flavour.
I love to travel, which allows me to get to know and photograph other
environments. I had the luck to do that.
I like to photograph the nature, especially in the autumn, things that are around me, places
but most of all I like to photograph people. I'm considering photographing people as
being a challenge all the time since require more and direct interaction between photographer
and subject.
People in their enviroments represent another one of my favourite subjects in my photography.
Still, my photographs are my best presentation !
2010 update :
I've decided to start a special section of my gallery dedicated to square images exclusively on film.
The images are captured with a Hasselblad 500 C/M camera, mostly on black and white film due to self
developing convenience.
The minisite is Squares.I hope to keep them coming. Enjoy.
