Daniel-Ștefan Bocșe is an art and design teacher and photographer based in Deva, Romania. With degrees in Photography and Product Design, and exhibitions both in Romania and abroad, Daniel brings a layered perspective to visual storytelling.
His work unfolds at the intersection of process and perception — valuing creation as a ritual, not a rush to outcomes. Whether it’s candid street photography, researched conceptual pieces, or installation art, he treats photography as a performance — a series of gestures, including the choice not to shoot. A proud member of the Fine Arts Union of Romania, he’s driven by the quiet honesty of moments often overlooked.
Project Statement
“Unscripted Shores”
On Egypt’s shimmering beaches, leisure performs itself endlessly. But beneath this sunlit theatre lie gestures, expressions, and fleeting compositions that reveal something far less curated. In Unscripted Shores, I step away from the conventional gaze and enter moments that most eyes bypass — candid, unscripted fragments that question the very idea of a “holiday snapshot.”
As a teacher and photographer, I bring with me a sensitivity to the process rather than the product. This series echoes that: it’s not about capturing perfection, but allowing imperfection to unfold. Each image represents a gesture — sometimes chosen, sometimes resisted. My photography here functions like a quiet performance, where what’s framed is just as important as what’s deliberately left outside the frame.
These photographs are more than beach scenes. They are quiet confrontations with the everyday: ironic, tender, and resistant to cliché.
