Presented series of photographs „Menace” is in Urban Absurd style. Urban Absurd are analog, medium format series of fine art photographs, made with Pentacon Six retro camera in urban scenery. The concept is to show the world and certain human behaviours in a grotesque, absurd and critical manner. This is a conceptual photography well planned and directed before shooting. I choose models, locations and weather conditions very carefully before each photo session. For me the concept and perfect framing are essential.
