How I see the world

βalkan Urban League w/o Borders

The Bulb Collective has been founded in January 2015 by Michail after an Open Day held in Bucharest. Since 2015 the collective has widen its geographical scope and it presently consists of photographers from 6 countries in the Balkans.

The collective consists of photographers active in urban (and rural) photography with an expressive shift to include highly aesthetic and poetic images in their assignments.

They share the same vision but not the same perspective which gives the necessary "polyphony" in their extremely ambitious endeavour to cover all the aspects of the Balkan neorealism.

Their visual signatures aspire to create iconic images and to be the best in metamorphosing and interpreting all aspects of life in this highly contradictory and fascinating part of the world.

How I see the world

by Radu Mihai Iani

10 years and tens of thousands of kilometers later, always along with my camera, here are some pictures of how I see the world.

I am a self taught photographer, I hate clichés, so I never wanted to be someone else, to follow paths.

Those who know me and happened to be near me when I see a "capture" coming to me they are telling me that I become someone else, I become a hunter who just saw its prey.

I am Radu Mihai Iani and I invite you to take a look into my world.

A word from the curator:

Bird’s eye images were and are always a pleasure for the viewer.
Andre Kertesz did them (Rainy day, Tokyo, 1968), Robert Doisneau did them (Saint Germain des Prés - Carrefour Saint Germain, Paris 1945), Cartier-Bresson did them (cyclist, HYÈRES, FRANCE, 1932), all masters tried, not all succeeded.

Radu Mihai Iani’s drone shots are going a step further and combine the photographic talent (intuitive composition and selection), with technology.

As a proof for the above, some of his "down-to-earth" images are also presented here so that the purists can find the elements that make a great image to stay with us long after viewing it.
