How it started
I never wanted to be a photographer who just shows up, takes the pictures and leaves. I wanted to give people an experience they would remember.
Wherever I looked, car photos felt the same: the same style, the same parking lots. I wanted to be different. I take cars to places where I think they would feel like they belong, and that can mean any location: rural places, the mountains, forests, horse stables, and sometimes a place where nobody ever imagined seeing a car.
The car is the star, but this is your experience, and you have an important role in it. If you want, I’d love to have you there with me, as part of the shoot and part of the story. And if you’d rather watch from the side, that’s perfectly fine too. Either way, I want you to feel included.
It all begins with a picture in my head. Sometimes a landscape shows it to me: that hill, this light, that tree, and one specific car standing right there. When I share these ideas, people say, “You can’t just get that car up there.” I answer, “Yeah? Watch me.” That is how I work as the most creative car photographer in Transylvania.
Everything is possible if you can visualize it. Even if nobody believes in your vision, you have to. The only limits are the ones you set for yourself.
A whole experience, not just a shooting
Every shoot is made just for you. Everything fits together like a puzzle, and the car is the first piece. Once I know which car I’ll be photographing, I plan everything around it:
- the environment and the location
- the part of the day
- the music in the background
- the angles
- the edit
All of it is there to bring out three things: the car’s vibe, your vibe as its owner, and the story behind it.
If you’re passionate about art, I’d love to invite you to a shoot like this.
Questions
Where do you shoot?
Most of my shoots happen in Cluj-Napoca and the countryside around it: the hills, forests, villages and roads of Cluj County. I also travel anywhere in Transylvania when a car and its story call for a specific place.
How do I book a shoot?
Send me a message on Instagram at @naturaetmachina. Tell me about your car and its story, and we’ll plan the shoot together: location, time of day, the whole experience.
Can I be part of the shoot?
Yes, if you want to. I’d love to have you in some of the pictures as part of the story. If you’d rather watch from the side, that’s perfectly fine too.
How do you choose the location?
The car comes first. Once I know which car I’ll photograph, I look for a place where it feels like it belongs, and then plan the light, the angles and the edit around it.
