she strides through the city like a sentence already passed—lips pressed, collar drawn, light biting into her like memory. behind her, the street dissolves into shapes and guesses. but she is absolute. untouchable. known only to herself.
a quiet corner, a borrowed shadow, and the slow turning of pages – her gaze defies time, her book bridges centuries. between stone walls and fleeting footsteps, she reads not just words, but the life that pulses beneath them.
There are moments when the weight of the world clings to a young heart,
when the eyes speak of battles fought in silence,
and the soul leans quietly against the edges of wonder and sorrow.
In the stillness between breaths, a story unfolds —
one of resilience, of innocence weathered by unseen storms,
of tears that never quite fall but are felt all the same.
i spotted them in the glow of plaça reial, standing calm among the chaos. they agreed to a portrait — just one — and didn’t shift their stance. a silver star above the brow, a pierced presence, and a gaze that says nothing and everything. it was quiet, cinematic, unrepeatable.
barcelona, one of those narrow side streets where time seems to slow down.
i saw him standing there – still, immersed, like part of the stone and shadow.
i asked for a portrait, and he agreed with a quiet nod.
then i asked him to lower his glasses,
just a little, to let the light catch those immense eyes.
now i look at these frames and still can't decide which one tells the story best.
maybe it’s not about choosing.
maybe it’s about letting them all speak.

A timeless black-and-white portrait capturing quiet confidence and introspection, blending strength, elegance, and authenticity in a single, expressive gesture.
A close-up portrait of an aging primate lost in thought. The wrinkles, the skin texture, the heavy gaze — everything tells a silent story of time, experience, and maybe sorrow.
Shot in natural light and processed in dramatic black and white to highlight the raw emotion and character.

night in madrid, a gaze cutting through the dark. the city sleeps, but here something burns—maybe a cigarette, maybe a thought. his face holds stories untold, unseen, but felt. raw and unfiltered, like the streets that cradle him.
a portrait steeped in quiet reflection and timeless dignity. captured at bar cristal on plaça espanya in palma de mallorca, this moment speaks of stories untold and wisdom gained through the years. the interplay of light and shadow draws you in, while the bustling energy of bar cristal fades into the background. this is more than a photographâitâs a window into a life well-lived.
