Romania's capital city, Bucharest, displays an elegant past that, after 40 years of communism and corruption, is now reaching levels of decay that may defy renovation. Over the past ten years, I have tried to create a parallel between the image of Princess Brianna Caradja, whose aristocratic family was driven out of Romania by politics, and of the capital city that is crumbling both physically and socially. With my journalistic background, I attempt to mirror the forgotten, ignored grandeur of both the physical and social institutions of my homeland.

IMPRESSIONS
MIAMI MON AMOUR
Miami Mon Amour is a photo montage series that explores the love affair of the artist with this colorful and vibrant corner of the Earth. While on a business trip, Bogdan connected with this city so completely that he had to memorialize the experience. Miami Mon Amour is a collection of 6 limited edition images that explore and capture vignettes, feelings, and impressions of South Beach, Florida. He collected icons, visual mementos, as one might gather shells along the shoreline. Each photograph is a basket filled with the memories that anyone visiting this remarkable destination will recognize.
All images are archival pigment print, limited series.
There are several sizes available for this collection: 15x20.5in and 20x30in. Larger prints can be done on demand.
Any of these images can be also printed on UV plexiglass.
