Photography is a dialogue across time—a conversation between past and present, between inspiration and creation. In this series, I pay tribute to the masters whose works have shaped my vision, not by imitation but by internalizing their spirit and letting it transform through my own photographic journey.
Through these images, one may glimpse the poetic solitude of Josef Sudek, the tactile abstractions of Aaron Siskind, the intimate quietude of Masao Yamamoto, and the minimalist elegance of Harry Callahan. The vibrant energy of Gueorgui Pinkhassov, the experimental dynamism of László Moholy-Nagy, the soft lyricism of Olive Cotton, the meditative landscapes of Paul Caponigro, the dreamlike mystery of Sarah Moon, the timeless, humane storytelling of Pentti Sammallahti, and the haunting emotional atmospheres of Todd Hido all find their echoes within my work.
This series is both a gesture of respect and an invitation—to see, to feel, and to create. To admire is not to replicate, but to understand; to learn is not to confine, but to expand. Photography, like all art, should remain boundless. May this collection encourage others to explore, to experiment, and to find their own voice within the vast, ever-evolving language of photography.
