The "Empty Rooms" series is a surreal collection of portraits capturing sleepwalkers as they meet in nature on a summer night. Shot without additional light, these images have a dreamlike and ethereal quality that draws viewers into an intimate and otherworldly realm.



I used long exposures of up to 20 seconds to create these haunting and otherworldly portraits. This effectively blurs the line between dream and reality, capturing the sleepwalkers in a state between consciousness and unconsciousness.



I asked the models to open their eyes for ten seconds and close them for ten seconds, creating a translucent and almost ghostly effect. The result adds a layer of depth and complexity to each photograph.



As viewers gaze into the sleepwalker's eyes, they are drawn into a world beyond their imagination. The combination of the long exposure and translucent eyes creates an intensely personal and striking image that is both mysterious and captivating.



A juxtaposition of nature and unconsciousness creates a world that is both intimate and otherworldly, drawing viewers into a dreamlike realm.
