A simple explanatory artist statement: I see the world through a camera. From nature to the human body, everything has an angle from which it takes the shape of something more than it really is. What I like to do is take that photograph and create something surreal, something out of this world, yet still maintain the integrity of the original representation. When I play around with the photos, it feels like a treasure hunt, to unearth the image hiding behind the surface. But sometimes, these figures alone, with little to no manipulation, take the shape of something sufficiently exclusive. The way the branches of a tree contrast the evening sky; the way the iris stands out against the whiteness of the eye, transforming the pupils’ darkness into something like an abyss; the way a flower looks so delicate, innocent and soft; and the way the sky shows off its overpowering cornucopia of color. This is how I see the world around me, and this is what I hope you’ll appreciate or at least notice in my work.

It's been a while, and new Features!

Sat Nov 7, 2009, 10:39 AM
I haven't written a journal in a while! I hope that the Features in my last one were taken into account by all who passed through my site, because they are all amazing photographers and deserve recognition. I will add more features at the bottom of this journal, but I'd also like people to take a look at the last ones as well. (you will not be forgotten!) haha

So, on a different note, I finally got Illustrator and Photoshop on my lap top, so now I can finally get into some serious digital art work. I'm trying really hard to get into vectors and such, so I was searching around online and found this AMAZING site that has free vectors that you can open up in Illustrator. I'm really eager to learn how to make vectors, so looking at the way other people did it is the best way to start I guess... I can take it from there, into my own direction. But if I will use a vector that was not made by me, I will of course give proper credit etc. But no worries, I'm still going to post photographs, because it will be a while before I will have a finished vector I'm happy enough about to post on here. :]

So, about those new features:

:iconjonaskr: -some seriously amazing shots, very artistic, takes photography to a new level. Also, every inspirational.
:icontostandalone: - really nice compositions, love his photography!
:iconappleplusskeleton: - really cool eye photos :] among other things.
:iconmuchlikefalling: - great model, very conceptual shots, always a pleasure to try and figure out.
:icondeathforgets: - real intense poetry, very cool graffiti shots


^_^ Hope you guys like them as much as I do!

I am organized, but restless; wide-eyed but doubtful; I believe in freedom of expression and thought, but being too different scares me; I am very blunt and voluble, but I get embarrassed easily; walks on the beach only leave me with a sun burn, while strolls in the park leave my mind open for new things; I like learning all about Caravaggio and Turner, but Dali and Lichtenstein fascinate me just the same.
My favorite smell in the world is that of my grandpa. My favorite sound is opening a Coke can and letting all the fizz come out. I like to listen to the wind blow outside my house. I think the best feeling in the world is a cold pillow under my head; that just invites you in to dream. I love to paint as much as I love chocolate cake. Tape, scrap paper and language discs are the pain of my existence. The biggest rush is ridding your bike doing 20 down the street; and the most horrifying are Romanian roadways.
