Art photos, a feast for the eyes…

We don’t need to travel far away to find harmonious and peaceful pictures. They are near us. Still - who said that probably we’ll sometimes have to first travel really far before being able to notice and perceive this...

One idea behind my art photographs is that one doesn’t need posh equipment for shooting beautiful photos: a good middle range camera, some close-up lenses and a supermarket in your neighborhood does it.

Because, yeah, my Nikon F50 is a film camera. The whole digital stuff is well, convenient indeed, but still, for me it’s too much soullessness: the symbol of our era… To use it also in taking photographs I’m waiting for it to first become old-fashioned…!

...Plain pictures, which with only a few elements give birth to harmony. Relaxing warm surfaces. Soothing soft curves. The simple, enchanting magic of the light playing with water.

Photos which, out of the whole reality around us, extract one component: the idea of beauty.

The pictures here are all “honest” pictures: I didn’t use any filter or some other device for altering the reality, except for the close-up lens which barely helped me to come closer. I don’t like when technique and technology get mingled with arts. The results may be beautiful, but sometimes they get mingled to an extent at which they replace the feelings.

…Because I think that ART means to give visible vestments made out of words, pictures, sounds – to invisible feelings. And just for their own sake.

And I also think that one duty of each of us is to enrich our world. We all make a difference in it, and we also bear the responsibility for what kind of difference we make. As well as a responsibility for what kind of feelings we express. Because feelings are also energy, and energy has a frequency. The feelings one is releasing will get some kind of resonance somwhere, thus growing and enhancing each other.

What kind of feelings do you release into our world?
