ABOUT ME

As an independent researcher interested in media and culture, I take what happens on our screens seriously. Filmmaking, at its basic, is an art of deception that flirts with truth. Trying to make films and think through the power of images as I make them is my way of counteracting excessive empiricism in the social sciences which pre-empts them of any depth.

There is no principled reason why representations should be any less legitimate object of study for learning about the human condition.

JEWELLERY

Lighting is the key to jewellery photography. While not my specialty I do love the leather and amber combination.

Amber captures the warmth and glow of ancient sunlight. Each piece is a unique work of art, with golden hues that range from honey to deep, rich cognac, often encapsulating tiny fragments of history within. Its natural beauty and organic charm make amber jewellery not just an accessory but a connection to the earth's distant past, radiating elegance and a sense of wonder. Wearing amber is like adorning yourself with a piece of nature's purest, most enchanting essence.

PRODUCT PHOTOGRAPHY

Details do matter. I work with the standard softbox set up for product photography.

But why products? Fetish? Objet petit a represents the unattainable object of desire. It is not a specific, tangible thing but rather the elusive quality that makes something desirable. It is the "something" that we seek in our desires, but can never fully capture or possess.

PORTRAITS

Portraits are tricky symmetrical opposite of product photography. Timing is the key, being opportunistic helps. I aim for evocative and intimate style, trying to capture the essence of my subjects with a keen eye for emotion and detail. My work blends natural light with carefully composed scenes, resulting in portraits that feel both timeless and contemporary.

LANDSCAPES

I love greography and landscapes. ChatGPT says that my landscape shots emphasize the interplay between light, texture, and form, creating compositions that highlight the majesty and tranquility of nature. Mozdeika's landscapes are marked by their atmospheric quality, often evoking a deep connection to the environment. Through his lens, ordinary landscapes are transformed into extraordinary scenes that invite viewers to pause and appreciate the subtle, often overlooked, details of the natural world.
