Frozen Splash

Frozen Splash is a series of artistic photographs of tea splashes. The images were made during an experimental studio session in Kuwait. Cups were tied to a transparent rope and pulled, so the liquid was thrown into the air. A speedlight flash placed in the background froze the motion, and careful shutter timing captured the splash within a fraction of a second. The raw files were then color corrected and edited with digital software. Each pull of the thread formed a different shape, so every image is unique.

Epic Fail

Inspired by the political events that shook 2016, this series observes the dissonance between our perception and reality in the age of social media and catered news feeds. The aim was to question how our materiality can be warped by our opinions and judgements, using the existential currents of Jean Paul Sartre’s "Nausea".

Apex

Apex is a fine art landscape photography series that examines the organic forms and textures of a mountain peak. The images were captured at the summit of the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain in Yunnan Province, China, at an altitude of 4280 meters. The rock formations create a contrast between ordered complexity and simplicity, offering a different perspective on natural beauty. The photographs were taken handheld with one digital camera and a single prime lens, then processed and retouched digitally. Apex is intended as a serene and meditative medium for viewers.

I am Nesia

I am Nesia is a photography series about the effects of the 2020 lockdown on the human spirit. Each image was made by turning the lens focus in the wrong direction, so that landscapes became soft fields of colour that resemble watercolour paintings. A dark figure was then added to each scene as a metaphor for fear and anxiety, and a grain texture completes the compositions. The series is produced as large format light boxes of 1200 by 2000 millimetres. The intent is to record a period of uncertainty and to show that people can adapt and prevail.

Nght

A series about the beauty of sunsets, moonrises, and reflections. Due to the different light conditions during the day the same building can look different each time you look at it. During the retouching process, the buildings get isolated from their environment to bring out the uniqueness of the buildings and to be able to edit the sky. In some cases, they are also manipulated to give it a more surreal touch.

Penumbra

The designer took photos at a time when leaving the house and meeting people was a challenge, i.e. during the pandemic. Staying at home for a long time triggered the author's creativity. Therefore everyday objects found in the house, such as bowls of water, reflective materials, windows in the building were used to model the light. Her works were taken in color first, then changed to black and white. Everything was done digitally. Only one photo she took with artificial light from a lamp and it is a portrait of a boy. Silhouettes are often shown hidden.
