Hello fellow Blogreaders!
As one of my New Year’s resolutions, I’m coming back to blogging regularly. I have a few of overdued works to show you, so the beginning of the year will probably be quite intense. The first thing I want to show you is a little photoshoot I did with my Muse during our trip to Greece in November. Our background was the National Garden (Εθνικός Κήπος), placed in the very center of Athens. Since we started shooting in the late afternoon, and the gardens are heavily overgrown, we only had 15 minutes of the golden hour to make use of. I photographed everything with 5d mk4 + Canon 85mm f1.2 II L. You can see the effects below, and meanwhile let me tell you a little about the capital of Greece. There are many things in Athens that stole my heart: the old town (gorgeous little narrow lanes with plenty of cosy cafes), the monuments of Acropolis (along with the Olympic Stadium it’s just breathtakingly huge!), but most of all the kitchen (Mousaka, Gemista, Pastitsio – you have to try these!). There are a few bonus photos of the city at the end of this post, hope you enjoy them.

Last weekend I made a lookbook photoshoot, where I tried to break the majority of the rules I stick to everyday. I used an ultrawide lens with the focal length of 16mm (full frame), plus I took the photos from a frog perspective, often framing at the joints, I wasn’t keeping the horizon straight, breaking vertical and horizontal lines. So as you can see, I broke most of the good photography rules, and I was having tons of fun while doing so. Not only did it give the photos much energy, but it also made me realize how limited we are in our creative work when we try to keep all the rules, and how liberating and fun rejecting them is.

After the photoshoot I took some spontaneous photos with super nice Dominika, who also took care of her stylizations.
As always, you’ll find the technical stuff below the photos.

On the Women’s Day (not intentionally :)) together with Kasia ‘Daedra’ Mikołajczak we organised a photo shoot loosely inspired by the 80s – more in case of the lighting rather than the stylization. The whole lighting effect, including the “stars” in the background, was achieved already in the camera. As usually, a full description can be found at the end of this post.
Hello fellow Blogreaders!
In today’s post there will be not only photos, but also my personal reflection on group session, where several models and several photographers meet on one set. I’ve been considering photos as a way of telling a story or show certain emotions for a long time now, so in my case a lot of intimacy is required. Therefore, I’ve always avoided group photoshoots or photography workshops, where many people fight for the model’s attention, and each one of them will eventually end up with a variation of the very same photo. The whole situation reminds me more of shooting celebrities on a photo wall rather than searching for something unique on your own. On the other hand, I wondered what these kind of events look like, and after many years I’ve decided to give it a try. The opportunity for that appeared when Poznańskie Plenery TFP informed about organising an apartment session, but I think I would come to similar conclusions after attending to any event of this type.
This post’s title is of course related to the photos. First, ‘study of solitude’ Ania:
