What the book has in common with fine art conceptual photography?

A constant thought when I was combining the poems into photography, was how can I print my poems and make them fine art photography pieces?! I had this in mind every time I was creating a fine art photopoetry.

I wanted the viewer, to see the words of the poem into the photographs, to feel them, as they were part of the photograps. To be one with the image.

As I developed my photographic style to conceptual fine art, I started creating more and more fine art prints. I was hooked when I felt the quality of the paper, the vibrance of the print, and the beautiful texture. It is a unique experience holding the fine art print for the first time. Nothing quite expresses the beauty of the print. A museum-quality paper, certified to last 100+ years. I have tested a lot of papers and printers but I couldn’t get off my mind the unique Hahnemühle Photo Rag paper.

Personally, for me, it is a constant reminder, of who we are and what the purpose of our life is. It is a daily struggle. Life is a transcending journey. We must never forget that every day we have to turn grief into happiness, ignorance into love, black into color. And we should never despair, and forever search the infinite love.
