Chocolate spin: The art of freezing a splash

For this image, David Lund used a stack of inexpensive disposable plastic champagne glasses. He removed the bases, drilled a hole through the centre of each one, then stacked them onto a drill. This created a layered spinning structure that could hold the liquid before releasing it. 

Exploring versatility with the new diffuser

Some photo shoots are about testing ideas. Others are about testing equipment. This shoot became both. I received the brand-new diffuser to broncolor Focus 110 umbrella, and I couldn’t wait to put it through a real creative shoot.  

A Fashion Beauty Photoshoot Between Nature and Architecture

For this project, we envisioned a fashion beauty photoshoot in a setting that blended nature with contemporary architecture.

Freezing downhill action with the Octamini 50

The main challenge of this shooting was freezing the action of a downhill bike at high speed while still preserving the natural atmosphere of the forest. We wanted to create true action shots while maintaining depth and presence in the environment.

Floating in the mist

This was one of those projects where everything comes together - the idea, the person, and the moment. I worked with Rokas Magic (Rokas Bernatonis), a Lithuanian magician known both locally and internationally, with several Guinness World Records. He creates magic through his performances, and my goal was to translate that into a visual image.

The protagonists of Gelders

A while ago, I was commissioned to shoot several campaign images showing the protagonists of the Gelders brand. The agency wanted a less polished and commercial look, so we ensured the lighting complemented this request. Harsh shadows and dramatic lighting made for a compelling visual.

Shaping emotion with light

In music-driven visual storytelling, light is more than illumination – it shapes emotion, atmosphere, and narrative depth. This philosophy came to life in Swargaloka, a studio-based music clip and photo production created in collaboration with one of Indonesia’s most renowned musicians, and visually directed by Martha Suherman.

The beginning of light

The photoshoot took place in an open outdoor area in Bogor, Indonesia, using large trees as a visual representation of the forest. Working in an open environment meant embracing natural unpredictability shifting daylight, humidity, and changing weather conditions – while still maintaining visual consistency throughout the shoot.

Time in motion: Capturing elegance with Stelos

I recently had the chance to test the new Stelos monolight during a product shoot featuring a luxury watch, and I came away genuinely impressed. Stelos is lightweight yet incredibly reliable, fitting effortlessly into my studio setup. The batteries lasted the entire session, which gives me full confidence they’ll perform just as well on location with clients.
