TITLE: Important

A photographic project undertaken with the participation of people who are an important part of my life. These characters, often remarkable and representing different ways of perceiving the world, helped me in making and implementing certain decisions (consciously or not) at various stages of my photographic activity. Thanks to the fact that they emanate a specific aura in my direction, I can put things into a different perspective, look at myself with self-criticism, and be inspired by everything ,even by the things supposedly insignificant.
Those I hold dear are the best proof that it is worth having a rich inside in times stripped of any form of spirituality.

Project realized by two cameras:
Digital Canon EOS 6D for „spiritual reflections”
Analog Mamiya RB67 with Ilford Delta 3200 for portraits and double exposure of them and „spiritual reflections ”
