Quinta da Regaleira, Sintra, 2018
Sony a7II, 28mm @ f/2

#photography #art #travelphotography #FlashesApp #landscape #forest #Sintra #Portugal #sonyalpha
A wide, eye-level photograph of the lush, overgrown forest in the park of Quinta da Regaleira in Sintra, Portugal. The scene is dense with vegetation. Gnarled, ancient-looking trees with mossy, twisted trunks and branches fill the frame, many of them covered in climbing ivy. The entire forest floor is a thick carpet of green ivy, with some patches of brown leaves and ferns. In the middle of the woods sits a large boulder, almost completely obscured by the dense ivy covering it. The light is soft and diffused as it filters through the thick canopy, creating a mystical and enchanting atmosphere in this verdant, green woodland.

video game stills 2, 2010
Nikon D300 50mm @ f/1.4
Can you guess the game or even the cutscene this is from?
Part of the portfolio I submitted for my application to the art academies way back in the day.

An abstract, motion-blurred photograph of a futuristic video game on a TV screen. The image is tilted diagonally and dominated by electric blue light, showing a dark vehicle with red lights speeding past, creating streaks of light and bokeh. The pixel grid of the screen is visible.

colorful boats on a black sand beach, Fuerteventura, 2019
sony a7II 28mm @ f/8

#travelphotography #travel #beach #boats #vacation #sonyalpha #photography #art #ocean #Fuerteventura #FlashesApp
A high-angle view captures a bustling black volcanic sand beach on a sunny, partly cloudy day. In the foreground, an assortment of colorful small boats – red, white, orange, blue – and a bright yellow kayak are pulled ashore. Near the closest white boat, a person in a black swimsuit holds a blue towel, while another crouches by the kayak. Further up the beach, people are scattered: sunbathing on towels, strolling near the water's edge, and wading into the turquoise sea where gentle white waves break. A blue and yellow beach umbrella offers shade. In the background, a small coastal village with predominantly white and light-colored buildings nestles against the beach, with a line of parked cars visible. Beyond the town, arid, brown, rolling hills rise under the expansive sky.

an aquatic reptile (I think it’s an American Alligator), Fuerteventura, 2019
Showing off how they actually float under water.
Sony a7II 55mm @ f/1.8

A photograph showing an alligator partially submerged in water within an enclosure. The top portion of the image shows the crocodile's head and eyes peering just above the water's surface, with reflections visible on the water. The bottom portion, viewed through clear, greenish water behind a pane of glass, reveals the submerged body, legs, and webbed feet of the crocodile. A rocky, part of the enclosure is visible on the left side, both above and below the waterline.

A jellyfish at the aquarium of the Stuttgart zoo, 2008
Nikon D300 50mm @ f/1.8
#jellyfish #photography #art #FlashesApp #nikon #blue #animal
A single, translucent jellyfish is brightly illuminated by an intense blue light, making it stand out vividly against the deep, dark blue water. Its bell shape is clearly defined, showing some internal structures, while its tentacles trail below. Numerous small, bright specks are scattered in the background water, catching the light.

Lydia for Mitja Gibson, 2010
Back when I was aspiring to be a fashion photographer, feels like a different life now. Reedited with almost no retouching (I removed a small bruise on her arm).

A fashion and beauty portrait capturing a young woman with dark hair styled in an elegant updo. Seen in profile, she leans over a white vanity table, focused on her reflection in a large mirror as she applies bright pink lipstick, part of her makeup routine. Her eye makeup includes noticeable winged eyeliner. Two lit white candles in brass holders and small, lidded silver containers rest on the vanity, contributing to the intimate, candlelit setting. She wears a dark grey sleeveless dress or top. The overall mood is one of classic elegance, preparation, and vintage-inspired glamour, enhanced by soft, diffused lighting.

Corfu, Greece, 2024
Fuji X-T4 16mm f/1.4 @ f/8
#Corfu #photography #landscape #travel #ocean #beach #seascape #FlashesApp #fujifilm #art
A panoramic, elevated view from a high point in Corfu, Greece, overlooking a large, horseshoe-shaped bay with calm, turquoise-blue waters. A long, curved sandy beach lines the bay, backed by a coastal village and lush, green, tree-covered hillsides sloping down to the sea. A rocky headland peninsula defines one side of the bay. In the distance, across the expansive Ionian Sea, hazy islands are visible on the horizon under a bright, clear blue sky. The sun shines brightly in the upper left corner. Green trees and shrubs frame the view in the immediate foreground.
