04.10.2009 / CHILDHOOD
Marysia and Pati. Two extraordinary young human beings, both at different stages of their childhood. If I'd ever decide to raise a child, that would be Marysia. If I'd ever decide to have long-term photographic muse, that would be Pati. Both are quintessence of beauty, child innocence and craziness. Both, hundred percent professional models!
20.09.2009 / SECOND SKIN
Julka's becoming my sessions regular. Thanks to her ability of transformation, we can set up any style and mood. Here's another one with a bit of historical, vintage touch...
30.08.2009 / BIOROID SERIES
Inspired by the previous doll sessions and my overall passion for science-fiction literature, movies and anime, I decided to start the bioroid series of photographs.
I will try to give every newly photographed model his / her bioroid clone. Initial works look promising, I hope you'll like the entire series!
12.08.2009 / ALEX STORY
Alex is a different universe... she casts exceptional aura, creates stories and worlds, where you can enter together and leave the mark in form of unique photographs. Most inspirational session.
10.08.2009 / EVENING DRILL
Julka is one of a kind local chick, who discovered that she likes not so feminine military outfits with a little touch of extremity. The session was broken in the process because of nearby drunken squatters, who weren't sure if what they see is real or just alcoholic visions. Anyway, session was short, but turned out great!
21.07.2009 / DOROTA EPISODES
Dorota is unique... so was our session. Together, we did a long and unusual photographic journey. It's hard for me to imagine more creative co-operation. Perfect image, dedication, professionalism... absolute top model! Thank you for everything.
18.07.2009 / DOLL SOUL
Finally! We did it. A full scale session with Lena and her dolls.
"...fascinating is the design process, when a doll slowly appears in my hands. Different from others, strange, with certain "flaws", but beautiful in a way. The new, unusual, magical tale is born with every new doll. Submerged in dolls world, I feel that I'm slowly becoming one, since there's really not much difference between us and them. Everyone, like my dolls has his own, unique inner beauty. My name is Lena Ovcharova, I was born in Tashkent. Dolls are my passion since one year now. They're made manually from scratch..."
Full pictorial of Lena and her dolls will be printed in autumn edition of Kikimora magazine. A magazine about design, culture and family.
24.06.2009 / MONIKA SESSION
Monika was moving out of town for summer break and Zuza, the visage master, had very tight schedule this day. The session took place about 9 a.m. and lasted only 3 hours, which was fast considering three detailed style set-ups. The backyard of an old house which stands boldly in very middle of the town, had the ability to take us away from rush and noise reigning around. We tried to stop time for a while and create kind of morning summer dream mood.
The outcome was pretty amazing.
15.05.2009 / TISSUE PROJECT
Tissue project is a collective work of four people. Me, the photographer, Bogna (stylist) and two stage actors: Izabela and Tomek. The shootings lasted about two months, including very uncomfortable and sometimes dangerous environments. Our goal was to approach the mystery of the evolution of human body. This was one of a kind metaphorical journey through world of human organs, life and death. We've found a perfect place for first exhibition - a medieval cellar structures hidden under one of the parking lots downtown. Until this very moment, noone has the idea this place even exists. The photographs were accompanied by video showreel displayed on one of the cellar walls. The response of the public was outstanding and strongly polarized... from illumination to blasphemy. Take a look and decide for yourself... Right now we're looking for possibilities to print the album and to exhibit the project in major cities in Poland and abroad.
30.11.2008 / TOMEK DUALITIES
Tomek is a stage actor in Silesian Dance Theatre located in Bytom. He also took part in photo sessions for Tissue project. His control over his body, face expression and flexibility in movement is exceptional. The session was planned to be a series of portraiture works, but slowly it took a little turn into weird masculine / feminine projections.
The outcome was really unique.
17.10.2008 / ZIN ETHNIC
This was high-speed fun and work of art! Zin came from Warsaw for only about three hours and we were constantly watching the clock to fit in the next train departure time. Thanks to Bogna's atelier and clothing we've managed to create one of a kind ethno / fashion experience. Zin's beauty is so overwhelming that I couldn't stop shooting until the last possible minute. Then I had to drive my car counter-stream to deliver Zin to the train station on time! This was definitely too fast and I hope to meet with Zin again... and again!
19.08.2001 / UNFORGETTABLE...
Paris, 9 a.m. A small apartment at Rue des Dames, where we used to live for over a month. A smell of coffee in the air and sounds of accordion coming from the street below... This was one of these unforgettable mornings in the city of love, except this time I spontaneously took my camera and began to register every single moment. Kasia was already out of the bed, but still half dreaming, going about her morning coffee ritual.
In the begining she barely noticed what I was doing, later it all transformed into one of a kind photo session. Months and years passed and such magic moment didn't ever occur again... Too bad all these beautiful things and moments of our lives don't last longer, but there's always hope...
