    Silver in Architecture / Historic

In the spring of this year, I decided to photograph the most beautiful railway stations in the Romanian countryside, they are located on the Craiova - Calafat route. With a length of 107 km this is the largely unelectrified railway. The studies for the construction of the railway began on May 10, 1885, they lasted until November, being led by the engineer Elie Radu , and the design lasted until May 1886. The construction of the railway began only in 1890 and after five years of work the railway was ready.

I’m Catalin Alexandru, a photographer passionate about creating emotive black-and-white imagery. My work captures the essence of my subjects through intimate portraits, compelling street photography, and visual stories that evoke deep emotion. With a strong focus on storytelling, I combine technical expertise with artistic vision. Aspiring to become a director of photography, I draw inspiration from various visual arts, constantly refining my craft and pushing creative boundaries to create meaningful and impactful narratives.
