I create reality and the world anew. My vision is retouched, built for the time and place,and the feeling of illusion is quite clear. In my work first I think and looking for until I get the idea that it is worth for someone to discuss, confront the other person’s vision. Photo session is an element.

I like to leave the door open to possible changes. Image is not that important but also what hap pens off camera. It ’s not just pho tography, is still drawing, graphics, installation, video, make -up

and styling, and later working at the computer. The image is only part of the process and one of the many media which I use.

I prepare outfits, makeup, models and looking for space, „draw� a picture in my head. Then there is the capture moment in which the person does not know that one is photographed and after that the computer work for the end. I like when the faces of my models are true, because during the session I talk with people, watch them closely, seek contact with them, so that they could forget about the existence of a camera.

„but between the lines it is also about the fact that people who are in these photos do not re ally give a flying fuck ..

Penny Press

They do not care about their glitz and fame but still it happens ... They are famous because they are famous and They can not help it ... people are talking about them one way or the other, about their relationships, adventures, blah blah ... This may be the metaphorical “fuck off ” to those who have nothing to do in life and are interested in someone else’s prob lems ... because they do not have their own ... and are bored ... so, after all, this is what the tabloids are for, right? „ The tabloids, cheap sensation. Its a game in paparazzi photography and pictures ​​of those who are „in tongues”, the heroes of local gossips, celebrities, famous for the sake of fame ... that are precisely known. Celebrities in unexpected situations ...

The „Penny Press” also encompasses the work of eleven pictures stylistically similar to one another pictures. All of the outfits you could see for a month in the Brama Jazz Cafe in Szczecin in December last year.

The girl who is in the photograph is a dancer and loves contemporary dance.

Weightlessness is what comes to mind while looking at the dancers. Therefore, for purposes of this photograph Aga had to hang in the air.

These three photographs are the compo nents of the whole work. Agnes made​​ about 120 jumps to create this photo graph. She returned home with many bruises, and soreness in the morning prevented her even from drinking the coffee.

Male and female hybrid, toxic discard of the sex equality struggle. Creature completely self- contained, narcissistic, trig, uninvolved, „eternal boy”.

The mannequin symbolizes the female body, yet unreal, commercial, artificial, idealized. The original woman’s role has lost it ’s value. World of Glamour is no longer a stranger to the men and is not reserved exclusively for women.

Metrosexual, will no longer be perceived as deviant, but rather as a requirement.

On the other hand, under a coat of effeminate glare, the dude is still a dude, but does not need a woman on such a scale as before.

The project is taking this issue in a creative way.Through the combination of a male torso with a female bust, it mocks the evolution of a male from a Neanderthal to his modern Homometrosapiens self.

The exhibition took place at March last year during the Festival Inspirations Glamour. It was the work of the ten dimensions of 100 x 70 which are hung on the walls of Villa Lentz.

Index 3d

Photo shoot for Brama Jazz Cafe 11 birthday. It is a cult café in the king’s baroque gate, almost in the center of Szczecin with modern interior and excellent music.

In the pictures we can see members of the service of Brama Jazz Cafe. All of the photos were taken in stereoscopic technique and to see the proper effect you have to wear 3D glasses, with one red and one cyan glass.

In addition, at each image you can see QR code from which you could learn more about the heroes of the exhibition.

With itself Issued on the last page of the magazine “Sic!”. Execution of the project 6x6. Six women photographers, of which the city of Szczecin, six months, six issues. The organiser of the project was Rafał Bajena, president of Creators and Producers of Art.

6 x 6 format negatives are used in the old camera KIEV 88, dating from the 70. This negative, is four times larger than normal analog frame, and the difficulty is to set the proper focus and exposure to such a large format. Thanks to that project a series of square, large format art photographs was created.

Untitled

These are the first two photographs in the series, which is in progress. The idea for the project is to create discord between the actor and its surroundings areas.

The room in which, the models are posing is designed to reflect the emotional inte rior of each character.

Femininit y

During the photo shoot for my Bache lor’s degree, which was the installation, completely unexpectedly I created a series of photographs, which I called „femininity”.

These photographs recall to mind a quote:

„To photograph people is to violate them, by seeing them as they never see themselves, by having knowledge of them that they can never have; it turns people into objects that can be symbolically possessed. Just as a camera is a sublimation of the gun, to photograph someone is a subliminal murder - a soft murder, appropriate to a sad, frightened time.”

Phallic art Urban fountain I first presented my fountain in Szc zecin at the Inspiration Festival - Ur ban space. Hence, the name “Urban Fountain�. The images were printed on transparent plexiglass to create the impression of water drops or oth er liquid. I installed a shower in the wall and I hung images around it. The whole thing made a good impression.

Af ter wards, I received an of fer to pre sent it in Torun. Af ter consulting a few experts, I decided to go a lit tle further with the idea. For the Torun exhibition, 101 clay penises were created as the basis for the fountain. Photographs were hung around the light which cre ated an additional ef fec t on the walls, as a kind of reflec tion of f the water.
