The aim is to surprise: place, time and light are real components. Each work is created in a single exposure as an abstract experimental composition. A special (unique) image of reality. Place and time are a primary element. Imagination and technology in symbiosis. No post-processing of the forms, everything is real.

Photography is communication – the attempt to tell stories with a single shot.
