About me
Welcome

Maybe to you this is just another "link" on the internet... or maybe just another average looking photography page..

Well, to me, this is my playground.

A place for me to express my feelings using this incredibly wonderful media that is Photography....

I do not know if there will only be photos...

Xtreme Shadows represents the beginning of my new era (Version 3.0)

This is 'a' place where I express my feelings, where I speak my emotions, passion, fears, joys, sadness, lust, nightmares, explosions, hopes and dreams.

I have not created Xtreme Shadows because I am in search of a trophy... I do not want money... I do not want medals..

I am not a painter, I am not a musician, I am not a poet. I am a photographer condamned to be the natural child of reality and fiction.

In this tormented assemble of images, full of passion and a times fragile, I recognize myself, uncapable to separate, or to decide good from evil.


Xtreme Shadows is here because maybe you can 'connect', because maybe through this screen, you can relate to the same feelings and emotions I feel every time I take a photo, every time I write a word.

So please feel free to look around.. write to me if you have something nice to say.. and this place changes as I do... so come back and watch me change..

I have much more to add... and I will.. as my life goes on..

Au Revoir

My Mission

To promote the beauty of visual arts through Artistic Photography

My Goals

I want to be able to use light as the sculptor uses clay or a cisell.
I want to be able to present the beauty of the shapes I see and feel.
I want to present to you what I see when I close my eyes
I want to be able to bend the lens of my camera to create images that are theoretically absurd, to let you see what you cannot see.
To play with the essence of light and shadows and create an image that hits your mind as a thunder bolt.
I feel my images are still pretty far from what I depict them to be.. but I am trying.
I want to be able to let your mind be able to reach past the appearence of what is obvious.

What I am interested in

I am interested in any innovative artistic idea that can be expressed via Photography, so if you have any artistic idea and would like to cooperate or collaborate on a project, please contact me.

What I am not interested in

I am not interested in what's pretty, I am interested in anything that has a strong meaning that an be expressed via a single picture.

Oh... if you have the tendency to be late.. or.. even worse.. change your mind at the last minute.. please do not contact me.

I take what I do seriously.. and I only want to deal with people that are serious about art and being on time.
