This is a series of fine art nudes in black & white, with dark background as negative space.

This series studies the symbolism of postures and geometries of the human body. It describes different characters whose nakedness forces them to confront to their own self and to what they really are, whether in their greatness or weakness. For me, nudity limits the human being to its true essence, thus it conveys transparency and truthfulness to the emotions that are shown in the photographs.

I'm a photographer with a deep focus on capturing the intersection between movement, emotion, and form. Drawing inspiration from the elegance of dance and the complexities of human expression, my work explores the fragile balance between strength and vulnerability. Through the lens, I seek to reveal the hidden emotional depth within moments of physical grace.
