A black‑and‑white analog photograph of a winter forest. A narrow path covered in fresh snow winds gently into the distance and disappears between the trees. On both sides stand dense rows of spruces and firs, their branches heavy with snow, forming soft, uneven shapes. The trees in the foreground are tall and solid, with thick trunks and full crowns; farther back they become smaller and lighter, fading into a pale winter haze. Snow covers everything in a smooth, bright layer, and the light is soft and diffused, with no harsh contrasts. The whole scene feels calm and hushed, as if the forest were holding its breath, waiting for someone to step deeper into the quiet.

A black and white photograph taken from a cliff, looking down at a calm sea and a wide stretch of beach. In the foreground, tangled branches and low vegetation form a natural frame that opens onto the space below. On the sand, two small figures appear on the left side and a single figure on the right. Heavy clouds gather above the horizon, full of tension, while the surface of the water remains smooth and quiet. The character of the image rests on contrasts: a dramatic sky and a peaceful sea, human movement and the stillness of the landscape, a silence that hints at change.

A raw, high‑contrast frame that hits with emotion. A woman’s face fills the shot, eyes shut tight, mouth wide open in a scream that refuses to settle into one meaning. It could be pain, it could be anger, it could be something tangled between the two. Light carves out the tension in her cheeks and the pull of her brow, giving every line a sense of strain. Her hair is long, thick, curly, pushed outward in a wild, uncontained motion, as if caught in the middle of a sudden burst of feeling. Each curl catches the light differently, creating sharp, shifting highlights. The background is dark and rough, a textured surface that adds to the unease. The whole image feels charged, unresolved. It doesn’t explain itself. It leaves you standing in the space between sound and silence, with questions that don’t settle.

Black‑and‑white analog photograph built on strong contrast between light and shadow, with a clear contour‑based aesthetic. The frame is divided into three distinct zones: the dark interior on the left, the bright exterior in the center, and another area of interior shadow on the right. Within this structure stands a man captured in half‑light. His silhouette is readable yet stripped of detail: short hair, head slightly bowed, a posture suggesting focus or contemplation. Outside the window, a blurred cityscape seen from above indicates a higher floor and reinforces the sense of distance from the everyday movement of the street. The light from outside creates a sharp boundary between the spaces, and the man stands exactly on that boundary. He is neither fully illuminated nor fully in shadow. His presence feels suspended, as if he were in a transitional state, between inside and outside, between intimacy and open space. The photograph builds tension through contrast and composition, yet remains calm in its expression. Technically precise and emotionally open, it captures a moment of stillness, a man on a threshold who exists in two worlds at once, and in neither completely.

This black-and-white photograph depicts a winter forest where slender, bare tree trunks stand out sharply against the bright, snowy backdrop. The branches are lightly dusted with fresh snow, accentuating their structure and direction. In the distance, the trees blur into a milky haze, adding softness and depth to the composition. The snow on the ground is smooth and untouched, and the entire scene radiates quiet, calm, and a touch of unreality, as if time in this forest had paused for a moment.

This black-and-white photograph captures a winter scene beneath a wooden pier, built from parallel rows of vertical support piles that form a rhythmic colonnade stretching into the depth of the frame. The structure is held together by horizontal beams overhead, from which long, densely clustered icicles hang, some needle-thin, others more massive, resembling blades. The perspective draws the eye toward the center, where the light fades and the sea water beneath the pier turns nearly black, contrasting sharply with the pale ice. The atmosphere is stark and maritime, filled with tension and cold; the image conveys the silence and weight of winter, suspended in geometric form.

This black-and-white photograph captures a frozen bay shoreline, where jagged ice ridges known as pressure ridges or hummocks have piled up near the edge. These formations arise when shifting ice sheets collide and crack under wind stress or temperature changes, forcing slabs of ice to thrust upward. In the image, they form a chaotic, serrated wall, like a wave frozen mid-motion. Above the bay, heavy, layered clouds hang low and dense, as if the sky itself were about to break. The ice stretches unbroken to the horizon, and the scene radiates cold, tension, and a stark, arctic stillness.

The black and white analog photograph shows a young woman with long, dark and straight hair covering her face with her hand. Her features remain hidden, making it a faceless portrait filled with ambiguity. Soft light and a subtle vignette give the image an intimate, quiet character. The gesture of covering her face can suggest shame, defiance, protection, or a moment of inward focus… it stays open to interpretation. The frame balances presence and absence, creating space for emotions that remain unnamed.

A black and white photograph captures a winter forest blanketed in snow. The densely packed trees are covered in thick layers of white, with branches weighed down by the snowfall. Dark tree trunks stand out sharply against the pale surroundings, creating a rhythmic contrast between vertical lines and the soft spread of snow. Some trees bend under the weight, adding a sense of heaviness and stillness to the scene. The ground is uniformly covered, untouched and silent. The grainy texture of the image enhances its raw, almost abstract quality, evoking a quiet, frozen moment in nature.

A black and white street photograph shows a young woman walking along a riverside promenade. At the moment the shutter clicked, she turned her head and looked straight into the camera with a warm, spontaneous smile. She has long, straight blonde hair falling loosely over her shoulders. She is wearing a white blouse and a light white jacket, and she holds a smartphone in her hand. Behind her stretches a softly blurred background: a bridge over the river, barges moored along the quay, silhouettes of people walking by, and trees lining the promenade. In the far distance, buildings fade into the haze. The whole scene feels light and unforced, captured in a single friendly glance.

A black and white street photograph shows a young man in the foreground caught mid-gesture as he brushes something off his shoulder. He wears a dark sweatshirt and sunglasses with thick, dark frames. His face is partially obscured by his raised arm, adding a sense of motion and spontaneity. In the background, slightly out of focus, stands another young man in a lighter sweatshirt and sunglasses with pale frames. Around them, other people are visible, forming a lively street scene. The soft light and grainy texture of the image emphasize its candid, documentary character.

A black and white street portrait shows an older man peeking from behind a tree trunk, glancing over his shoulder as if caught off guard. He wears a sweatshirt and a cap with lettering, slightly askew on his head. His forehead is furrowed, and his gray beard and tousled hair add to the impression of a moment interrupted. His gaze meets the camera with surprise and intensity. The background is softly blurred, drawing attention to the texture of the tree bark and the expression on his face. The image carries a quiet tension, framed in grainy tones that emphasize the fleeting intimacy of the scene.

A black and white street photograph captures two young women in a close embrace, gazing into each other's eyes with tenderness and focus. The shorter one on the left has long hair and wears a polka-dotted top, her arms wrapped around the neck of the taller woman who has short hair, glasses and a dark shirt. Their faces are close, their expressions filled with affection. They stand among a crowd, with people smiling and holding up phones. In the background a metal fence is visible. The soft light and grainy texture of the image highlight the intimacy of this moment amid the urban bustle.

A black and white street photograph shows eight elderly men gathered around a round stone table in a park. They are playing cards, leaning in with focus and engagement. Their clothing varies, with some in light t-shirts and shorts and others in jackets and long trousers; a few wear baseball caps while others sit bareheaded. Beneath the table lie shopping bags, tote bags and backpacks, as if each brought something along. On the left side of the frame stands a dog, a calm observer of this everyday scene. In the background, blurred trees and benches complete the setting, while the soft, grainy texture of the image emphasizes the warmth and authenticity of this fleeting moment of companionship.

A black and white analog photograph showing a quiet riverside landscape. Slim trees line the bank, their reflections forming an almost perfect symmetry on the still surface of the water. The foreground is filled with softly outlined grasses, slightly bent as if touched by a faint breeze. Above the horizon stretches a layer of delicate, blurred clouds with gentle light behind them, suggesting either sunrise or sunset. The entire scene has a soft, grainy texture that deepens the sense of calm and a dreamlike pause in time.

Black and white analog photograph of the Eiffel Tower captured from an exaggerated worm’s-eye perspective. The massive base dominates the frame, pushing outward toward the edges, while the top recedes sharply, losing weight and clarity. The iron lattice forms a dense, almost abstract structure that pulls the eye upward. The background is filled with a dramatic sky and scattered clouds, amplifying the tension between architectural weight and atmospheric lightness. A subtle vignette enhances the sense of focus and depth, giving the image a monumental yet dynamic character, as if the tower were in motion, retreating from the viewer.

Portrait of a woman with fair skin, photographed on film in soft, slightly surreal light. She wears a simple dark top without embellishments that keeps the focus on her face. Her hairstyle is intricate: a short, sixties‑inspired front and a pinned‑up back, all carefully arranged with a clear sense of style. Her makeup is bold, also echoing the sixties in a modern way, with strongly defined eyes and a winged or cat‑eye contour that gives her gaze its intensity. Her lips are vivid in color, drawing attention and balancing the composition of her face. Her green eyes look straight ahead, intense but not harsh. There is something more in that gaze, a veiled sensuality, maybe a hint of melancholy. Something that leaves room for personal interpretation. The background is an abstract composition with floral elements, full of color that contrasts with her dark clothing. It doesn’t distract but surrounds her gently, as if she were part of a larger story that can’t be fully decoded.

Black and white street photo. A person sits on a step by a worn, graffiti covered wall with layers of tags, letters and random marks. Shoulder length hair split into two colors, one side light, the other dark. They’re wearing dark pants, heavy boots and a T shirt that looks like it would be colorful in real life. In one hand they’re holding a fabric tote in rainbow colors. Next to them a basement window with bars, a bit of the stairs with a round railing post. The body slightly leaning forward, hands resting on the knees, a moment of pause, maybe reflection. The whole scene feels raw, but quietly affirming.

A woman in a winter jacket with the hood up walks down an icy park path, moving away from the camera. The scene is quiet and cold. On the right there’s a patch of grass covered with a thin layer of snow, and on the left blurred benches, trash bins, street lamps and bare trees fade into the mist. The whole park is wrapped in soft fog that hides the distance. Far in the background you can barely make out old buildings and a faint human figure. The black and white tones, light grain and gentle vignette add to the feeling of winter stillness and solitude.
