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.

Ramūnas Danisevičius

Ramūnas Danisevičius (born in 1973 in Jokūbiškiai, Biržai district, Lithuania) is one of the most prominent Lithuanian press photographers, documenting the country’s everyday life, politics, and cultural scene for over three decades. He studied photography at the Vilnius Higher School of Technology and has worked professionally in the press since 1993, collaborating with publications such as Apžvalga, Respublika, Lietuvos Žinios, LT, and has been a staff photographer for the daily Lietuvos Rytas since 2010.

Danisevičius is a co-founder of the Lithuanian Press Photographers’ Club and a member of the Lithuanian Photographers’ Association. His work is defined not only by documentary precision but also by a distinct ability to capture the unexpected theater of everyday life – its irony, emotion, and paradox. He has held over twenty solo exhibitions in Lithuania and other countries, and his works are preserved in Lithuanian museums, the National Library of France in Paris, as well as private collections.

For his work, Danisevičius has received more than twenty Golden Frame Awards in the Lithuanian Press Photographers’ contest, and in 2019, he was honored with the Lithuanian Government Culture and Art Award for his outstanding contribution to Lithuanian photography. Today, Ramūnas Danisevičius continues to live and work in Vilnius.
