TITLE: Winter Street

The image depicts a winter landscape in black and white, reinforcing the mood of cold, stillness, and timeless beauty. The snow-covered landscape appears serene and peaceful, while the fog creates a mysterious and slightly eerie atmosphere.
In the foreground, a winding road leads into the distance, gradually fading and disappearing into the fog.
This road can symbolize the path of life or a journey into the unknown—it invites the viewer to embark on a journey whose destination is uncertain. The trees that line the path act like silent guardians of the landscape.
Their branching branches, bare in winter, reinforce the sense of solitude and tranquility.
The fog that envelops the scene can be interpreted as a metaphor for ambiguity or the hidden aspects of life that have yet to be discovered.

Overall, the image conveys an atmosphere of stillness, contemplation, and a touch of mysticism.
It invites us to reflect on our path in life, on the unknown that lies ahead, and to recognize the beauty in the peace and simplicity of a winter landscape.

I see my photography as an attempt to bring three things together: light and time as the two fundamental elements of photography, and, thirdly, my own creativity.

The resulting works are not based on a particular photographic technique, a photographic theme, or a specific art movement.
They are the result of the threefold combination of getting inspiration from the works of other artists, the attempt to analyze and utilize the techniques used, and further development of these through my own creativity.
