Harmony Between Body & Nature

​

The human body is a mirror of nature—its curves like mountains, its textures like stone, its rhythms like the sea. My photography explores this connection, revealing the raw beauty and balance between human forms and the natural world.

​

Through carefully composed images, I sculpt bodies with light, integrating them into landscapes, playing with contrast, and creating unexpected encounters. No digital manipulation—only perspective, composition, and the skill of my subjects adapting to their surroundings.

​

Each photograph is a study of form, matter, and emotion, inviting reflection on the fragile yet powerful relationship between body, spirit, and nature.

Excerpt from the foreword of my book, written by Sondra Gilman.

Founder of the Photography Department

at the Whitney Museum.

​

"I close my eyes and the images dance in my consciousness. They are strong and contemplative and, in today’s world of exasperation, hurry, and crisis, they are an oasis of beauty and serenity. You find humor. You find the careful hand of an artist that continues a great tradition with tremendous flair, honesty and integrity.

 

The images you will not forget. The artist you will follow".
