Homeless people as they are and as they dreamed to be. A series
about lost chances and the illusion of the image. A photo cannot
tell the truth or at least not all the truth, it just gives the
photographers "truth". As a consequence, for my project I started
to record the stories of the people I photographed, I began to have
a personal dialog that gave me the context that I needed and that
could not be found just in the portraits. A closer copy of a person
gives a greater response from the viewer and this I think because
of the “Gulliverish” impression that the viewer has. You see
somebody or something at an unnatural scale or from an unlikely
distance and this is the goal of my project, to show the homeless
people in an unlikely approach and from a closer distance.
After two years of going to a technical university I decided to drop it and to find something else to do, something to engage my imagination and to make me feel free. I had a sabbatic year in which I rediscovered my bending to image in general so I started to photograph as I felt the need to express myself and to show the world who I am. Meanwhile I did an one year photography course, I graduated a film school in Romania as a film director and now I am enrolled in a MFA program at Academy of Art University from San Francisco.
