Many of your pictures look spontaneous. How much work and planning you put in your photos?

Working on the spot always allows me to create this spontaneous atmosphere for me and my model. It also allows us to explore the possibilities of the given location. Very often I ask the model to do a certain type of movement and just capture the execution of it. Each session feels a bit like a journey, which is unique every single time.

What's your secret recipe for great pictures?

There is no recipe, you just need to follow your instincts.
