What motivated us to start Mmiri was the ambition to try something new with every project and every image. This goal, though challenging, fuels our passion and growth.
The idea of a water pool floating in the air came from a discussion about our favorite childhood animated movie, "FernGully: The Last Rainforest." We brainstormed this idea on a warm, cozy evening in the kitchen.
We enjoy experimenting with flat geometric forms and combining them with three-dimensional objects, such as flowers. This creates a strong contrast to the usual expectations of photographic plasticity.
For us, each image is not just a finished piece of art, but more of a conceptual study—an experiment to develop a comprehensive aesthetic. We might revisit a piece at some point, rethinking it or evolving it into something new.

We always start with a sketch. Whenever we find ourselves lost in all the small details we have to overlook, we take a step back and follow the plan. In the end, it’s often astonishing how closely the final result matches the initial idea.
It was fun to play with elements reminiscent of classic still-life paintings. Here, we have all the common components: a table, a vase, flowers... and some soap bubbles.

or maybe just a feeling
or a doubt...
The last floral photograph from 2023... We believe you can sense the autumn in it. We are extremely pleased with how it turned out.
Currently, we are working on different series simultaneously, each holding a special place in our hearts. However, every time we return to photographing flowers, it fills us with a warm and nostalgic feeling. This is where everything began—the inception of our passion.
