Sorry for the late post, this week I decided on boats as my main theme – I just like them 🙂

I was looking through my hard drive to find post material for this week and came across the best photoshoot model I have ever worked with. I present to you Mila, who I miss dearly, as she does some snow adventuring 🙂
Today’s post is going to be short: Here is a piece of home, because I’ve been missing it lately.
We were in Peru in the mountains in a small city called Urubamba when the power went out revealing the most stars I’ve ever seen.
Bonus two photos: the comet NEOWISE that passed Earth in 2020 and that I managed to capture.
I’ve been sorting my photos recently and I stumbled across so many pictures from the past that I wanted to share, but this still probably remains my favorite creative shoot. It was for my own exhibition that I curated in 2019 and it featured dance in different transformations. The problem with capturing dance is that a photograph only captures a short snippet, freezes the dancer in one moment, while the entire idea of dance is that it’s continuous. That’s why I used long exposure to capture the continuum and to really show the act of dancing.
If you hover over the images you can see what settings I used, just if you’re curious 🙂 I am working on editing some new photos so there should be some new exciting content soon.

If you followed my work last year you know I try to avoid unjustified black & white editing. In the case of this series though we were aiming for a romantic, slightly vintage and polaroid-like look. It was not a serious photoshoot, but turned into a fun portrait of playful femininity which I called “Table Manners.”
