Butterflies in my stomach. Self-portrait.

Butterflies in my stomach - is an anxious and nervous feeling inside yourself (inside your stomach). This image is metaphor of dealing with stress, anxiety and releasing my inner bugs. I've had issues with dark thoughts and depression for the past couple of years and this image represents my attempt to reconsider my life and to be reborn into a new person.

Here's a little making of and editing timelapse. 3,5 hours in 3,5 minutes!

Equipment used: ♡ Broncolor Move 1200l battery pack ♡ 60 x 60 softbox ♡ Broncolor new RFS 2.2 transmitter


I need more space.

"As we got farther and farther away it diminished in size. Finally, it shrank to the size of a marble, the most beautiful marble you can imagine. That beautiful, warm, living object looked so fragile, so delicate, that if you touched it with a finger it would crumble and fall apart. Seeing this has to change a man..."

– James Irwin, Apollo 15
 

All my life I've been fascinated by the wonders and the mysteries of the universe. You can only start trying to comprehend it. The outer space is deep and mysterious. But also dark, empty and hostile. No matter how much it can captivate us and make us want to explore the stars, no matter how soon we might be forced to leave the Earth in search of "more space", everything and everyone you ever knew is on this little blue marble we call home.

Behind the scenes of "Last Flight" photoshoot near the famous DC-3 plane wreckage in Iceland.

I did this shot during our last trip to Iceland at the famous DC-3 plane wreckage. The road to the plane is closed now so you have to walk about an hour to get there. It was windy and cold as hell and I almost freezed to death wearing only a shirt and a leather jacket, my eyes were running and couldn't feel my hands. The paper plane was an actual real paper plane I made before the shoot. How far can you go for a good shot?:)
