NOIR CAVALIER — Published in FOREIGN LOOK, Issue 12, New York

In June 2025, my portrait series NOIR CAVALIER was featured in Issue 12 of FOREIGN LOOK, an independent New York–based art and fashion magazine.
This was not just a publication — it was a soulful moment of recognition on an international level.

The photograph that made its way to the pages of the magazine features a man with ethereal white hair standing beside a powerful black horse — a striking image of contrast, elegance, and emotion. It’s a story about presence and vulnerability, about timeless beauty told in silence.

For me, photography is not about perfection — it's about capturing what cannot be posed. I work with light, movement, and real emotion. NOIR CAVALIER was born from that space — where intuition meets intention, and the image becomes a feeling.

This collaboration was a beautiful merging of creative forces:

About the Work

The NOIR CAVALIER series explores the emotional depth of masculine presence in nature. It speaks of strength without force, beauty without perfection. The white-haired model stands as a symbol of both gentleness and power, mirrored by the raw grace of the black horse.

This international publication marks a new chapter for my artistic journey — one of quiet confidence, authenticity, and deeper creative exploration.

If you're a gallery, magazine, or agency looking for minimalistic, soulful, and emotionally resonant photography — I'm open for collaboration.

Let’s create something honest and timeless.
