PERSONAL PROJECTS

I undertake Personal photo projects allow me to improve working on composition, lighting, and editing skills. They allow me try out new techniques and to push myself outside of my comfort zone. The Philosophy of endless Knot is the eternal endless cycle of life, the symbol of connection between wisdom and compassion.

Black and White Photography

Black and white photography has a way of capturing a certain mood and emotion that color just can't quite achieve. It's a classic, timeless look that never goes out of style. I love playing with the contrast and composition in my black and white photos to really make them stand out.

Drone photography

One of the biggest advantages of drone photography is its ability to capture unique perspectives. Drones can fly over obstacles and reach places that would be difficult or impossible to access with traditional photography methods. This allows photographers to capture images and videos that would not be possible otherwise.

Travel - Nepal

Nepal is a photographer's paradise. From the towering peaks of the Himalayas to the ancient temples of Kathmandu, there is no shortage of stunning scenery to capture.

For a photographer, Nepal is a place of contrasts. The country is home to both rugged mountains and lush valleys, ancient traditions and modern cities. This diversity is reflected in the country's photography, which ranges from breathtaking landscapes to intimate portraits of everyday life.

One of the most iconic images of Nepal is that of the Annapurna Massif, a towering cluster of peaks that dominates the skyline of the Pokhara Valley. Photographers flock to this region to capture the dramatic beauty of the mountains, often using long exposures to capture the clouds swirling around their peaks.

Another popular subject for photographers in Nepal is the Kathmandu Valley. This ancient city is home to a wealth of temples and palaces, many of which date back centuries. Photographers can wander through the narrow streets of Kathmandu and capture the city's unique atmosphere, with its mix of traditional and modern architecture.

In addition to its natural and cultural wonders, Nepal is also home to a diverse range of people. Photographers can capture the everyday lives of Nepali people, from farmers working in the fields to children playing in the streets.

Here are a few specific photography opportunities that a traveling photographer might encounter in Nepal:

Himalayan sunrises and sunsets: The Himalayas are some of the most beautiful mountains in the world, and sunrises and sunsets over these peaks are truly breathtaking. Photographers can capture the dramatic colors of the sky and the snow-capped peaks with long exposures.

Temple festivals: Nepal is home to many Hindu and Buddhist temples, and there are festivals held throughout the year at these temples. Photographers can capture the colorful costumes, elaborate rituals, and joyous atmosphere of these festivals.

Mountain villages: Nepal is home to many remote mountain villages, where people live a traditional way of life. Photographers can capture the everyday life of these villagers, from farming and herding to religious ceremonies and festivals.

Indigenous people: Nepal is home to a number of indigenous groups, each with its own unique culture and traditions. Photographers can capture the traditional dress, jewelry, and customs of these groups.

Nepal is a photographer's dream come true. With its stunning scenery, diverse culture, and friendly people, there is something for everyone to capture.

Travel Malta

Malta is a treasure trove of rich heritage and endless photo opportunities. With its ancient temples, medieval cities, and stunning coastline, the island offers a diverse range of historical and natural sites to explore and capture in photographs.

Product Photography

Product photography plays a crucial role, especially when it comes to capturing the essence of whiskey bottles. The pristine Black or white backgrounds serves as the perfect canvas to showcase the elegance and sophistication of these bottles. By carefully selecting the lighting and angles, I can highlight every intricate detail and texture of the bottle, from the embossed logo to the intricate design of the label. Additionally, the use of props such as crystal glasses and wooden barrels can further enhance the composition, creating a visually appealing and enticing image that perfectly captures the spirit of the whiskey. Whether it's a single bottle or a collection, product photography can truly bring out the character and allure of whiskey bottles, enticing potential customers and leaving a lasting impression.
