🚶‍♂️ Autofocus is nice—until it’s not.
Street photography waits for no one, which is why zone focusing still rules the pavement.

Venice. Monochrome. Magic.
Captured during one of my exclusive black-and-white photography workshops — where we slow down, observe, and frame the timeless soul of the city.
✨ Private. One-to-one. Purely focused.

There was a time when my photography served deadlines and headlines. Every image had a caption, every caption had an agenda.

Then came silence.

Inspired by Koudelka, I’ve shifted toward something deeper—something quieter. Photography that doesn’t shout, but waits.

Not every lens is about perfection.

Some are about soul, flaws, and a certain kind of magic that modern glass just doesn’t give you.

This was shot with one of my favourite vintage Russian lenses — a Helios 44 — mounted on my Leica. Softness, swirls, character... exactly what I love for personal work and storytelling photography.

I just published a new blog post about why I use old Soviet lenses on my Leica M10, M6 and M3 — and why these imperfect tools still matter today.
