I started the Movement Series photos in 2018. My friend has followed me since 1972/73 and commented that I have always been involved in movement. Of course he is right. I thought I had invented something new in 2018. The new is probably just new technology and many more exposures

New Light 色彩の向こう側 色彩は、私にとって単なる視覚的な要素ではありません。 光が形を変え、色が重なり、予期しない構成が生まれていく。その過程には、私自身にも完全には予測できない発見があります。 New Lightでは、現実を説明するのではなく、光と色彩が持つ可能性そのものを探求しています。 2021年の作品より New Light Beyond Color For me, colour is more than a visual element. Light changes form, colours overlap, and unexpected compositions emerge. Within this process, I discover things that even I cannot fully anticipate. With New Light, I am not trying to explain reality. I am exploring the possibilities of light and colour themselves. Works from 2021

Movement Helsinki 2019 Two figures moving through a world of intense color and light. For a brief moment, the city loses its familiar shapes, leaving only movement, energy and traces of human presence. 95812703_6x #Movement #Helsinki

Movement Human Encounters Every day, thousands of people move through the city, each with their own destination, thoughts and stories. For a brief moment, their paths cross. They may never meet again, yet their movements become part of the same composition. These encounters cannot be planned or repeated. They exist only for an instant, and it is precisely this unpredictability that fascinates me. Through Movement, I explore how ordinary human encounters can become something entirely unexpected. Works from Tallinn, 2019.

Movement Some days, the world keeps moving around you, while you are left with the feeling that you no longer belong to it. Life goes on, but somehow without you. 96135713_6 #Movement #Photography

Movement 見えない出会い 都市の中で、人々はそれぞれの目的地へと向かっています。 互いを知らず、言葉を交わすこともなく、ほんの一瞬だけ同じ空間を共有する。その偶然の重なりに、私は魅力を感じます。 私の写真において、動きは単なる被写体ではありません。予測できない出会いが、新しい形や関係を生み出す瞬間でもあります。 2020年の作品より Movement The Unseen Encounter In the city, people move towards their own destinations. They may never know one another or exchange a single word, yet for a brief moment, they share the same space. It is this accidental meeting that fascinates me. In my photography, movement is more than a subject. It is the moment when unpredictable encounters create new forms and relationships. Works from 2020

Movement Tallinn 2026 They are coming. From different directions, with different stories, each following their own path. For a moment, they become part of the same movement. 97097578_6c #Movement #Tallinn

Architecture is usually photographed as something fixed and permanent. I often look for something else. Repetition, intervals, lines, windows, shadows and reflections can create a visual rhythm that changes the way a building is perceived. At that point, architecture becomes less about documenting a structure and more about discovering an image already hidden inside it.

nice shot!
Photographing humans for a change! 😆 Waterloo Bridge on Thursday. I was on the wrong side I thought … but in hindsight, it’s actually more interesting with the people

動きはほんの一瞬で終わりますが、写真はその動きに別の時間を与えます。 私は50年以上にわたって動きを撮り続けてきましたが、今でも、普段なら気づかれずに消えてしまう小さな身振りに惹かれます。体の向き、腕の動き、一歩、人が画面を横切る瞬間。 写真は時間を止めます。しかし時には、止まった写真の中に、実際の一瞬以上の動きが残ることがあります。 A movement can last only a fraction of a second, but the photograph gives it another life. I have worked with movement for more than fifty years, and I am still fascinated by the small gestures that normally disappear unnoticed: a turn of the body, an arm, a step, someone crossing the frame. Photography stops time, but sometimes the stopped image can contain more movement than the moment itself.

Movement Tallinn 2026 People pass through the frame, but what interests me is how movement changes the whole space around them. The city becomes less fixed and more alive. 97098992_6a #Movement #Tallinn

Movement From one of my earliest Movement series, 2019. Photographed on film I produced myself, when the language of Movement was still being discovered through experimentation, chance and imperfection. 95892125 #Movement #Photography

I began photographing myself in the 1970s and have returned to the self portrait many times since. For me, these photographs are not primarily about appearance. They are markers of time. The person in front of the camera changes, the cameras change, and the circumstances change, but the act of making the photograph creates a connection between very different periods of a life. Looking at the images together, the distance between decades can sometimes feel surprisingly small.

Movement They are simply there. People passing, standing, waiting, each absorbed in their own moment. Together they become a temporary pattern of movement, color and city life. 96326395_6 #Movement #Tallinn

色は物事を非常に正確に伝えることもできますが、その逆の働きをすることもあります。 New Light では、色が元の物体から離れ、独立して見えることがあります。そこに残るものは、場所の記録というより、その場所の記憶に近いものになります。 記憶も同じなのかもしれません。細部は消えていきますが、ある色や光、感覚だけが残ります。 Colour can describe something very precisely, but it can also do the opposite. In New Light, colours often separate themselves from the objects that produced them. What remains may feel less like a record of a place and more like a memory of one. Perhaps memory works in much the same way. Details disappear, while certain colours, lights and sensations remain.

Movement They are here. For a brief moment they enter the frame, leaving behind traces of movement, light and the pulse of the city. Tallinn 2026 97175239_6a #Movement #Tallinn

Movement Tallinn 2026 For those wondering, yes, it is a car on Narva mnt in Tallinn. In Movement, even something ordinary can slip into light, speed and uncertainty. 97183602_6 #Movement #Tallinn

Movement She simply appeared, crossed the scene and was gone again. Just a few seconds, a brief encounter between movement, light and color. Sometimes that is all it takes. 97183624_6a #Movement #Tallinn
