Taken in Bucharest, Romania, with an iPhone12

35mm Canon. Taken in Cluj, Romania

Motion. Music. Mystery.
This series was born out of instinct and experiment - long exposures, minimal light, and a violinist lost in his own world. I wasn’t chasing clarity. I was chasing presence. Emotion. Sound turned into shape.

Photography doesn’t always need to freeze time. Sometimes, letting it stretch a little reveals something deeper. A ghost of the gesture. A trace of the soul.

Shot with Canon 6D + 70-200mm. All in-camera, no tricks. Just light, movement, and a little chaos.

Story of this photo: I was exiting the Art Museum in the Romanian city of Cluj.
I saw an elderly man walking slowly through the main gate, back into the rhythm of the street.
There was something poetic in the way he moved — a kind of calm departure.
I used a slower shutter speed to keep the motion slightly blurred, to let the moment breathe. To show the softness of time, not just the stillness.

More to come. Each frame, a small piece of someone else’s story.

Canon 6D with 35mm lens.

I was wandering through one of Sibiu’s central streets when I noticed a little cat sheltering beneath a car. As I drew near, she approached eagerly, seeking a gentle touch. In gratitude, she began to twirl around me, a delicate dance of joy. I lifted my Canon 6D to capture this spontaneous, magical moment—a pure stroke of luck.

Street photography and personal moments from Bucharest and Sibiu — all shot on an iPhone 12.
This second set captures everyday scenes: silhouettes passing by, people lost in thought, and the quiet streets of January.

It’s a reminder that photography is more about how you see the world than the gear you use.

Fotografie de stradă și cadre personale din București și Sibiu — toate surprinse cu un iPhone 12.
Acest al doilea set surprinde scene de zi cu zi: siluete care trec, oameni pierduți în gânduri și liniștea străzilor de ianuarie.

E un reminder că fotografia ține mai mult de cm vezi lumea, nu de echipament.

Each of these amazing souls holds a special place in my heart. Different in their own unique ways, yet equally loved and cherished. Their presence brought me joy, peace, and countless moments of wonder. Elmo, Pamuk, Fistik, Mutombo, Iancu & Thomas ❤️

Captured with my new iPhone 12 (old model, but new for me 🙃) this collection of photos is mostly street photography, some black and white, some color. Even though I mostly use Canon cameras, I’ve found street photography to be more practical with a phone than a bulky DSLR.

I`m trying to capture what I find interesting, whether it’s in the streets or elsewhere.

It’s kind of nice what you can create with just a smartphone when you pay attention to the details around you.

What do these photos make you think of? 🤔
