“I shoot in monochrome because color lies. It flatters things that don't deserve it. Strip it away and you find out fast whether there's anything worth looking at.
The biggest influence on my work is Northern and Flemish Baroque painting, where everything that matters is lit. Some elements of expressionism infuse my photography as I aim to incite contemplation and challenge viewers to confront discomfort.
Each photograph is composed to convey specific emotions or sensations, sometimes even veering into the bombastic.
I'm not interested in pretty. I want the image to hit first and explain itself later. Or not at all.”
Gabrielius uses Canon 5DS R + Zeiss Otus 1.4/55 and Fujifilm GFX 50R + GF63mm F2.8 R WR cameras.
