"Endless" is a collection of images that through body movement and specific lighting explore the beauty of the human body.

To create this project, I worked with Mélanie Dupuis, and I used only one harsh light. We had to do many photoshoots and experiment with different setups and poses to be able to create this exact feel and mood.
We wanted to showcase the human body in a unique and abstract way, that is why everything was very surgical especially the use of light.

By combining just two elements, the human body, and lighting, you have an endless possibility to express yourself. The human body can be fragile, can twist, it can be powerful and beautiful at the same time and through these body landscapes, you can also identify it with different emotions and feelings like "dynamic", "free", "brave", "bold", "calm" and other.

My name is Marcel Cristocea and I am a fashion/people photographer based in Montreal.

I am originally from Constanta, a city on the Black Sea coast of Romania. I discovered photography at the age of 22. Initially, I was attracted to nature photography, but in time I discovered that photographing people was more rewarding to me. Ever since I was a child I was fascinated with meeting new people and listening to their stories. Slowly I started to follow this path and I moved from landscape to photographing people.


I believe great photography is a TEAM effort. It is all about the connection between the photographer and the people that take part in the photo session, even if it is just a simple portrait. Good chemistry will always shine through in the final photograph. It is very important for me to make the people I am photographing feel relaxed in front of the camera and have them show their natural expression.
