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.

A fashion shoot above Shanghai

This assignment was a fashion shoot set on the top floor of a 90-year-old high-rise overlooking Shanghai’s Bund.

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.

Overpowering the sun: Creating with dancers and light

For this shoot with professional dancers, we chose an unused industrial loading site. The raw concrete walls, empty loading bays, and wide open asphalt provided both a striking backdrop and the freedom to move dynamically with the performers. Shooting in this type of environment is always exciting, because it combines the unpredictability of an improvised performance with the challenge of shaping light in an unforgiving outdoor space.

Lighting power on the coast

Guernsey’s harbor, rugged coastline, and Karl Taylor’s studio became the testing grounds for the new broncolor Stelos. Karl explored how the 800 J monolight performed in very different scenarios, pushing it in both controlled and challenging environments.
