90's ballin with Daniel Bocai
The 90s aesthetic is making a strong comeback in today's fashion and culture, and I wanted to capture that vibe through film photography. For this shoot, I focused on capturing the old-school, hip-hop, American street life aesthetic that is so iconic to that era.

A walk in the park with Anca - by Marian Chinciusan
"I was trying to connect with my Hasselblad" The story behind the shots. Well the story behind these shots is a simple one. I was trying to connect with my Hasselblad 500c/m and Anca is always a good subject for photos. She's not camera shy, can look straight into the camera and leave the impression that there's nobody taking pictures. She's natural. So after I got my Hasselblad and shot a couple of rolls with it, I didn't get the look I wanted. I wanted something that I've seen on photog

Teo and Anca: Long time no see - by Marian Chinciusan
"Hasselblad and Olympus, my two favourite cameras for two great friends" About the shoot: Teo and Anca are bffs. But they live in different parts of the world. One in London, UK and the other in Cluj-Napoca, Romania. So after a long period being apart, they met in Cluj and wanted to keep this memory. So they were pretty excited when I told them to go out and shoot some film in a really light mood. So one of them had the idea to go out for a quick picnik just above the city. They packed
