Fragments of Power
examining strength through the pieces we choose to reveal.
This collection comes directly from my experiences of watching how people carry themselves in real life. I’ve always been fascinated by the small details that show confidence, struggle, and resilience—the way someone tilts their head, holds eye contact, or wears an accessory like armor. For this series, I wanted to capture that energy in a raw and honest way.
The decision to work in black and white was intentional. It removes distraction and focuses attention on the strength of the subject’s presence. The styling—sharp glasses, metallic highlights, minimal clothing—was chosen to underline both modernity and toughness. Every frame was directed to bring out a sense of forwardness, like the person is pushing through space with intention.
As both the creative director and photographer, my role here was not just to take pictures, but to shape an atmosphere where intensity, elegance, and human expression could coexist. These images aren’t just portraits; they are reflections of real life experiences and emotions I’ve witnessed and transformed into a visual story.

Constructed Identity
This project began with a simple idea: using a painted mannequin body as a starting point and asking the model to interact with it. Through directing the poses and later refining the images in editing, the mannequin slowly disappeared until its body became hers. What began as an object turned into a living figure, blurring the line between artificial form and human presence.
For me, this series is about how identity is often shaped, imposed, or constructed by outside forces. We live in a time where appearance, image, and expectation can feel like a mold that people are pressed into. By merging body and sculpture, I wanted to visualize that tension—the mix of beauty, transformation, and restriction that comes with trying to fit into something not originally our own.
As the photographer and creative director, my focus was on keeping the styling minimal but impactful: bold paint, direct poses, and a clean backdrop that placed full attention on the merging process. This way, the viewer is left to question where the real body ends, where the constructed one begins, and how much of identity is truly ours to claim.
where reality and artifice merge into one body.
Body Language
This series was built around the idea that the body itself communicates as much as words. I wanted to capture how small shifts in pose—lying down, pressing against a wall, stretching the legs, or holding still—completely change the mood and the way a person is perceived.
To keep the focus clear, I worked with a minimal setup: a plain backdrop, a bodysuit, and thigh-high boots. The outfit acted like a visual frame, giving the movements structure and consistency while letting each pose carry its own story. By limiting the styling, I could highlight the raw presence of the body and the emotions it projected through posture and gesture.
As photographer and creative director, my goal was to document these transitions in a way that feels both simple and intentional. Each frame shows a different layer of confidence, vulnerability, and expression without needing complex settings or props. This project is about the honesty of movement—the way body language reveals identity in its most direct form.

movement as self-definition.
Human Study
This series was created as a direct exploration of the human face and body without distractions. I wanted to strip everything back to the essentials—plain backdrop, minimal clothing, and natural light—so that every small detail of expression and posture could stand on its own.
The direction during the shoot was simple: move naturally, adjust the gaze, shift the hands, and let presence fill the frame. By keeping the styling neutral, I was able to highlight how much identity can be expressed through subtle gestures and micro-expressions. Each image captures a different state of being, from calm observation to quiet vulnerability.
As both photographer and creative director, my focus here was on honesty. No heavy styling, no layered symbolism—just a straightforward study of how a person carries themselves in front of the lens. The result is a series that feels raw, unpolished, and human, reminding us that art can live in simplicity as much as in spectacle.

Controlled Space
This series explores how the body reacts when placed inside a constructed environment. Using projected light grids, I created a setting where every movement was framed, limited, or defined by lines and boundaries. The styling was kept simple—a black bodysuit and boots—so the focus stayed on the contrast between the geometry of the lights and the form of the body.
During the shoot, I directed poses that shifted between resistance and adaptation. At times, the body stretches to fit within the lines; at other times, it pushes against them, breaking the sense of order. The goal was to capture how presence changes when space imposes rules around it.
As photographer and creative director, I wanted this series to highlight the tension between freedom and control. It’s about how environments—whether physical, social, or digital—shape identity and movement. The final images show both restriction and expression, proving that even in controlled spaces, individuality still breaks through.

Altered Perception
This series looks at how small styling choices can completely change the way a subject is seen. I used a plain backdrop to remove distractions, then introduced a few bold elements—yellow visor glasses, a dark jacket, and minimal accessories. These simple details shifted the energy of the shoot, creating a sharp contrast between stripped-back vulnerability and strong, urban presence.
Throughout the session, I directed movements between confidence and openness: direct stares into the lens, subtle gestures, and poses that revealed different sides of identity. Each frame became a test of how the same person could project power, softness, or playfulness depending on the styling and context.
As photographer and creative director, my goal was to show how perception is never fixed. Fashion and accessories don’t just decorate—they alter the story being told, changing how identity is read and remembered by the viewer.

Bloom as Armor
This series reimagines flowers not as decoration but as protection. By pairing an oversized floral crown with a metallic red dress, I wanted to turn symbols of softness into something bold, almost defensive. The body becomes both vulnerable and shielded—wrapped in fabric, crowned in petals, and presented against a stark white backdrop where every detail stands out.
The direction of the shoot played with this duality: crouched and guarded poses next to upright and commanding ones, shifting between exposure and strength. Each frame asks whether beauty can also be a form of armor, and whether vulnerability itself carries power.
As photographer and creative director, my goal was to challenge traditional readings of femininity and ornament. Here, the floral crown is not a gentle accessory—it is a statement of resilience. Bloom as Armor is about identity transformed into spectacle, showing that even symbols of fragility can become shields of strength.
transforming fragility into power.
Feminine Structure
This series explores how beauty and strength coexist within control. Through floral forms and sculptural styling, I wanted to show femininity not as fragility, but as something deliberately composed. The stillness of the poses and the weight of the floral arrangements give each image a sense of quiet architecture—grace designed with purpose.
The direction focused on restraint and presence. Each gesture is intentional, showing that softness doesn’t need to be passive—it can be built, shaped, and powerful in its calm. As photographer and creative director, I approached this work as both portrait and construction: designing an image where femininity stands as its own structure.

Stripped Presence
This series is about what remains when everything unnecessary is removed. With no elaborate styling or props, the body stands on its own as both subject and statement. The clean backdrop and minimal clothing eliminate distraction, forcing the eye to meet the figure without filter or ornament.
The poses are simple but deliberate — a recline, a shift of weight, the tension of a hand against the body. These quiet gestures carry their own gravity, showing how presence can be powerful without spectacle. Here, exposure isn’t about vulnerability as weakness, but about the choice to stand without cover.
My aim as photographer and creative director was to present the body as enough on its own. By stripping away layers, Stripped Presence explores how strength, tension, and honesty exist most clearly when there is nothing else left to hide behind.
vulnerability as the truest form of strength.
Shared Silence
This series captures the kind of closeness that doesn’t rely on speech — only presence. Two bodies, different yet balanced, share space in a moment that feels suspended between stillness and emotion. There’s no performance, no direction to act; instead, there’s quiet trust and an awareness that connection can exist without movement. It’s a form of communication built entirely on breath, posture, and proximity.
The idea came from observing how people connect when words fall short — when gestures, glances, or simply being near each other say enough. I wanted to photograph that unspoken language, where comfort meets tension and every subtle shift carries meaning. The process was slow and deliberate, giving time for the energy between the two subjects to settle and reveal itself naturally.
As photographer and creative director, my goal was to portray intimacy as something not defined by romance or touch, but by shared understanding. Shared Silence is about presence — the kind that feels both fragile and strong, private yet universal. It reminds us that sometimes the most powerful moments happen in absolute quiet, where connection becomes the art itself.
