Abstract nominee

Wax is an abstract and experimental series of photographs which explores the astoundingly varied structures, textures, patterns, and shades of one of the most ordinary items imaginable. Even though a candle can be found in almost every household to light homes with their warm and cozy light, they are so much more than a mere light source. They are also a portal into unknown spheres and dimensions, an invitation to your imagination to let go and float in frozen streams and bubbles, icy mountains and caves, tiny cells and particles, or to discover bizarre shapes and scary faces.

I am an enthusiast amateur photographer and work (mostly)in black and white. I have started taking pictures in 2007 when I bought my first DSLR. In 2013 I won the Driven Creativity photo competition hosted by G-Technology with a portrait of a chimpanzee. My photography focuses on animal portraits, architecture, abstract and landscape photography.
