tharogas' photostream

I'm a professional photographer based in Cluj-Napoca, Romania, working for companies (advertising, corporate, editorial photography) and for individuals and families (portraits, weddings, events...).

I'm French, living in Romania since 2004.

My favourite photographers are David Lachapelle (for his ideas and concepts, and for the true story happening in each of his photographs), Pierre & Gilles (for the concepts and the unique atmosphere of their images), Gregory Crewdson (for his cinematic approach of photography), Jill Greenberg (for the lighting), Jean-Baptiste Mondino, and many others.
