"WORK ON PORTRAITS I" - ION
"Work on Portraits", is my first complete photographic work.
It consists of 15 images of persons of different ages, races
and cultures. The link that binds all these persons together
is nature. The faces acquire a very specific connection with
their backgrounds, having a constant dialogue with them."
