No AI-generated images, and no HDR processing. I love landscape photography—whether by day, by night, or in urban settings—as well as spontaneous portraiture (distinct from studio-based work). I enjoy shooting in both color and black and white (having spent years working in a darkroom with analog film). I do not use Photoshop; I used to use Lightroom, but now I work with Capture One, applying only minimal adjustments. My goal is simple: to study and learn in order to improve my technique and composition, striving to create images that can truly be called "photographs." I am not looking to produce "wow" shots—images that may be striking or high-impact, but which also appear visibly over-processed. I possess an extensive collection of black-and-white negatives and color slides; from time to time, I scan, restore, and share some of them. I don’t shoot every day, and occasionally I post photos that were taken years ago.
