My Photo at the Solo Single Subject Exhibition at Modeka Art Manila

The recognition: a selection in Manila

I am delighted to share that one of my images was selected for digital display at the "Solo – Single Subject" exhibition at Modeka Art in Manila. The selection was made from photographs submitted by image-makers around the world through a GuruShots challenge. The "Solo – Single Subject" theme rewards frames focused on a single protagonist — on one distinct presence around which the whole composition is organised.

The chosen work is a black-and-white fine-art portrait — a woman photographed from behind, seated on a bed, her bare back adorned with an extensive, intricate tattoo, her lower body draped in flowing fabric. Soft, natural light, the texture of the bedlinen and the graphic rhythm of the tattoo create a mood of intimacy and stillness.


The venue: Modeka Art, Makati
