Mihai Marinescu by Dave Ouano

'NEVER JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER! It’s only the tip of the iceberg. There’s a lot more hiding behind this appearance.'
Mihai Marinescu



20 year Mihai Marinescu is certainly more than his appearance, Mihai describes himself as very versatile, energetic, fun, alive, and smiley. His passions include the creative, modeling and acting, as well as a passion for traveling. Mihai has Argentina, Brazil and Japan on his destination list to visit in the next couple of years.



Another of Mihai's passions, and one photographer Dave Ouano incorporated within their recent shoot, is sports. Mihai says he is always pushing his limits in all aspects of his life whether it be athletics or modeling. Mihai says he has been a athlete all his life and it is clear he would not have the body he has without hard work and discipline.




In my previous profile of Dave's work, (Eric Anderson by Dave Ouano) I wrote about Dave's focus on movement. While many photographers focus on a moment, one of the thing I love so much about Dave's work is his skill at capturing moments of motion. This creates an energy in Dave's work that is not only seen but felt.

'My inspiration for most of the movement/jumping captures is the classic "fallen angel" image, or the beauty of the human form separating from Earth, even for just a brief moment.'
