Biography

In a world of images with infinite filters and AI editing, I stick to reality. I only do basic editing and minimal retouching to each any image.

CIPRIAN POPICA

PHOTOGRAPHER | FILMMAKER

The interest for photography started when I was four years old, thanks to my dad who was learning photography at that time. In 2003 I started to take photography seriously, but only for a few years. From 2009 until recently, I did mostly video production and a little bit of filmmaking. In 2023 I returned to photography full time. I am covering various genre but I concentrate on street photography, portraits, boudoir, lifestyle or landscapes.

I mostly shoot in black and white, but most images will have both a black and white and color version. The reason behind this is that to me, black and white photos are way more colorful. All you see is monochrome, but your imagination will always color an image in infinite ways. I always admired my grandparents photos as a kid and the stories I imagined about what was behind those images. I would love if I could offer you the same magical feeling, even if just a little.

While working as a photographer, I am occasionally making sailing and outdoor adventure videos on YouTube, or working on personal photography projects. This allows me to offer prints that you can order from the catalog. The sales help me continue my sailing and outdoors adventures. The final goal is to finance my adventure to sail alone around the world.

RETOUCHING

In a world of images with infinite filters and AI editing, I stick to reality. I only do basic editing and minimal retouching to each any image. I prefer to photograph people or places as they are. I don’t want to to create images with a distorted view of the reality. Do not worry, I will remove pimples.
