HASSELBLAD MASTERS 2018 FINALIST

I have the big honor to have been shortlisted as one of the 10 Hasselblad Masters 2018 finalist for the prestigious HASSELBLAD MASTERS AWARDS 2018, among more than 31 500 entries from all over the world, and I am truly excited and proud about it.

After coming back from my New York workshop and the scouting trip for my 2018 San Francisco workshop, I was working these days on a review of the Fujifilm GFX 50S medium format camera, the most affordable medium format camera and a great tool if you want to take your photography to the next level, and I intended for that to be my next article.
But in the meantime this very exciting news came and I felt the need to share it with you. Continue reading →

PHOTOGRAPHER OF THE YEAR ARCHITECTURE PROFESSIONAL

I’m hugely happy to have received the highest distinction for architecture photography at the IPA 2016, where I was awarded Architecture Photographer of the Year, for the Professional category.

IPA,  International Photography Awards, is the most prestigious fine art photography competition in the world and this makes my joy even bigger. The images were chosen among tens of thousands of photographs submitted from 162 countries.

With this title, I will be a finalist for the overall title of the IPA Photographer of the Year that will be announced on October 23rd in the awarding ceremony at Carnegie Hall in New York. Fingers crossed for that!

It is the second time I am a finalist in a major photography competition, after the SWPA World Photography Awards in 2012, where I was in the Top 10 shortlist in the final, and I can say now I’m even more excited about it.

My series Urban Saga has received 1st PRIZE – GOLD and 2nd PRIZE – SILVER, and was Continue reading →

LIVE PHOTOGRAPHY INTERVIEW AND LATEST NEWS

My latest live photography interview for Paul Griffiths’ show “Photography Live and Uncut” and other photography news, black and white fine art tutorial collection and more.

Since I’m not necessarily sending out a newsletter, I thought of including from time to time in my usual posts a few that have to do with my latest activity and the latest things I publish, be them tutorials, interviews or different other offers (workshops, products etc.) – mostly educative info that can help other fellow photographers in their quest for creating fine art photography and (en)Visionography. This is one of those posts.

Live Photography Interview

I will start with a live photography interview I gave recently to Paul Griffiths, for his show Photography Live and Uncut, a great show where Paul has interviewed some very inspiring photographers over time. I’m actually very proud to have been invited to this show, considering the artists who were his guests in the past, and I will mention only a few very well known names like Michael Kenna , Alain Briot, Irene Kung, Rick Sammon, David Brookover, David DuChemin , Jonathan Chritchley, Bruce Percy, and I could keep going.
