Life is Like a Movie
I have been working as a press photographer for almost 30 years, and even beyond my profession, photography remains my greatest passion. This series, “Life is Like a Movie”, was created with a Leica M6 film camera.
Each frame stands alone – complete in itself, with no need for supporting images. Every shot tells its own story, yet when placed together, they form a short film. Shot entirely in Lithuania, this is photo-cinema without a script, without dubbing, without artificial intelligence – pure and unfiltered, just like life itself.
