Tale #17 - MYSTICAL

Created on a misty morning in Italy at Lake Dobbiaco, MYSTICAL is a prayer to nature. A thick layer of mist lifting over the trees and the lake revealed the aethereal beauty of this delicate, mystical scene. These conditions lasted for a few minutes, then the scene dissolved as quick as it had arrived.

ABOUT TALES OF TWO WORLDS

Reflections are a deep, philosophical subject more than a photographic one for me, and one I love exploring and working on at any chance I get.

Photography is never real; it’s just a bi-dimensional representation of a four-dimensional reality. Photography is an interpretation of reality. Reflections are optical illusions, mere perceptions of reality. I always considered reflection photographs to be images telling tales of something in between two worlds.

To tell my tales, I often like to introduce elements breaking the perfect symmetry of my reflections; visual anchors, points of interest, or simply something hidden in the image, something that you can’t really see but it’s there if you look for it.

Photographing reflections is an exploration of the interplay between what we perceive as real and what is just a perceived image of that perception. This collection is a 4-year slice of that exploration.
