Languages of Light
These images were inspired by my research in observing and revealing form through the use of light. Using a single light source, I attempted to exhibit abstract shapes of the human form in its sculpture-like beauty through intense observation.
I took inspiration from the work of Irving Penn, Imogen Cunningham and, most importantly, Robert Mapplethorpe.
Thank you to my beautiful wife, Rafaelle Queiroz, for her assistance and being my model for this.
This was part of an assignment in a photography unit of my course at the Open College of the Arts (BA (Hons) in Graphic Design.) For those who are interested, my learning log can be viewed here.
Mezzo-soprano and violin virtuoso portraits
I had the pleasure of creating portrait photographs with mezzo-soprano Anna-Lena Denk-Erlich and her husband Nachum Erlich, who is a violin virtuoso and professor of violin.

Romeo and Juliet in Mozart's Hometown
Tonight is the premiere of Reginaldo Oliveira's "Romeo and Juliet" at the Salzburg State Theatre.
Márcia Jaqueline and Flavio Salamanka
Tonight is the premiere of Reginaldo Oliveira's "Romeo and Juliet" at the Salzburg State Theatre.
I took photos of the dress rehearsals this week, of which there are a few below to see.
My journey as a dance photographer started with Reginaldo’s first choreographic attempt, also named ‘Attempt.’ I documented the creation process and performances of his works at the Staatsballett Karlsruhe, including the very successful ‘Anne Frank’. Reginaldo worked on ‘Romeo and Juliet’ with the same prominent design team as always: Sebastian Hannak as stage designer, and Judith Adam as the dance costume designer. The scenery fits very well with Salzburg’s beautiful Baroque architecture. It has a nice modern twist, though, which almost reminds me of the movie ‘Inception’.
Toi toi toi to everyone at the Salzburger Landestheater, it was so lovely to see so many familiar faces again!
