There are places on Earth where a person becomes themselves
They lie far from cities and everyday life, and we almost never find ourselves there. These are natural places of power.
For thirteen years I have been flying to such places in small planes and helicopters and photographing them from above. This is the primordial Earth: rock that is millions of years old and forms that were here long before us. Each place has its own energy and its own unique codes. I called these works photo portals, because through them you can connect with a place from a distance. You look, you feel a response, and your state begins to change: calm comes, or clarity, or strength, differently for everyone. You recognise your portal by that response, and it opens up gradually.
My mission is to make people fall in love with the planet again. From that love, their spiritual rebirth begins.
We are part of nature, and the connection has never gone anywhere; we have simply forgotten how to feel it. A photo portal restores that connection and turns your space into a place of power. That is how you return to your true nature.
What is a photo portalTeleportation Session
Five minutes alone with a place of power. How will your body respond?
You hold an ordinary phone in your hand, and suddenly it turns into a living portal to another dimension. I literally felt that I had teleported inside a painting come to life. I was looking down at the Earth, and at some point I realized: this is not a picture. This is our planet. As if I were looking at it through the eyes of God. I am especially hard to impress with technology: I am a techie myself. For me this is art of the highest order. A standing ovation.

Photo portals in the world press
…To me this isn't only a photo, it's a work of art. Its painterly quality, plus the graphic nature of the landscape, takes this beyond an ordinary aerial photoshoot. Yes, it's right place at the right time, but it's technically impressive in that it's absolutely sharp and crisp. I hope to see more of your photos!

What people say
“Within a few seconds I was deeply immersed in my body. Calm and joy came. And a message from this portal: you can lean on the world.”
I can breathe, an inner warmth has appeared, I want to live.
Incredibly beautiful artwork. Seeing the rivers like veins of life.
It felt as if my spine began to warm up and the warmth spread inside. Grounded and filled.
My eldest son says: turn this song on for me, it will help me remember who I am and why I was created.
A feeling of freshness and lightness. You feel it with your body, with your eyes.
Rivers like thoughts, energy spilling into something bigger: desires, actions, events.
Expansion. The body has no boundaries.
It was wonderful, five minutes of silence and calm. How beautiful our planet is. Words can't convey it, you have to feel it, and that is what just happened.
