Denzil Patrick - Presentation during London Fashion Week SS 24 September 2023

Just another time I had an opportunity to shoot a backstage during the Fashion Week. I truly love these feverish preparations and witnessing models’ metamorphosis.

This time I had a pleasure to participate in DenzilPatrick presentation, organized together with Tank Magazine .

I wish all shootings had such a pleasant atmosphere!

Valette Studio - Presentation - Paris Fashion Week SS 23/24

Participation in Paris Fashion Week is always a great distinction and I’m happy that I could again shoot the presentation of Valette Studio, the fine art masculine brand created by Pierre François Valette.

The presentation took place in Palais Tokyo and was organized within Paris Sphere, a special Fashion Week showroom supporting young, creative talents.

I need to admit that what interest me the most during fashion shows, is everything what happens between the official scenes. An official outcome is spectacular, of course; but all emotions in between, tension, relief, expectations, impatience, stress, breathe, models walking between average humans, this is something magical. And again I realized that B&W shows it better than photos in color.

That’s what I was able to catch:

'Les Amants' (2022) exhibited during 'Amours IV' in Galerie Plateforme Paris

I'm happy to share that my photo 'Les Amants' (Pqris, 2022) became the part of the exhibition 'Amours IV' from the cycle ‘Salo’ to be seen in Plateforme Paris between 20/01-5/02

Thank you dear V&J who are the heroes of this story and the Curator Quenehen Laurent who has chosen my photo among overwhelming amount of works he received to be possibly exhibited during this event.

For the sale & more info, please contact me directly.

The Morbid Beauty of the Carmo Convent (Lisbon)

If you want to make G-d laugh, tell him your plans. I have had plans, a lot.

After spending almost all February in bed (I got super sick in NY), I’ve seen some Paris Fashion Week (OFS) 2020 collections and then in March, covid_19 took over the world. I was supposed to start few interesting projects in the mid of March, both personal and commercial, but everything has been postponed for the unknown point in the future. I hope I will be able to work again soon, after the end of lockdown (possibly 11th of May), however, I’m aware that the creative and visual sector won’t be the same as before. But I keep hope for the great things to come!

This forced slowdown became the great opportunity to look again and develop images from the personal archive. Today I’m publishing photos from the place, which perfectly mix the two of my favourites aesthetic ideas: the secretiveness of abandoned places and the spiritual beauty of the Gothic architecture.

The catholic Convent of Our Lady of Mount Carmel has been built in XIV century and ruined during the sequence of the 1755 Lisbon earthquake, which was one of the deadliest in the history (killing in Lisbon alone between 10 000 and 100 000 of people…). Of course there are no words to describe such a huge tragedy, but… we need to honestly admit that few natural catastrophes created absolutely unique pieces of art (vide: Pompeii, for example)

I saw this place and I immediately knew, that I would like to come back there again as soon as possible, but not as a tourist anymore. I simply would love to have a professional shooting there and have some ideas or rather a whole scenario in my head… and I hope to share the photos of the realized scenario in few months or years ;-) who knows? But today, just a few postcards:
