In Frame

In Frame

An idea popped into my head yesterday as I was making prop for my next photoshoot. What if I could hang a frame in the forest because nature is an art in itself?

I found an old frame, older than me for sure, and went on a walk. The weather was beautiful. Sun was shinning and it was over 10 degrees C. This isn't how Winter is supposed to look like, especially in the mountains. This kind of...

City at night

City at night

A few days ago I went on a walk at night around my city. The veil of thick fog hid everything that was visible during the day. A town usually full of life and people now fell deep asleep.

I was walking under a lonely streetlamp where the buildings met the woods. It always felt a bit creepy to me. Right when I was thinking about that I saw some movement in the corner of my eye. It was har...

THE DEADLANDS issue #37

THE DEADLANDS issue #37

Since I treat this page as my photography (and little bit of a life as well) journal I thought I should share this great news with you. One of my oldest photo was picked to be featured ona cover of "The Deadlands" magazine. I almost forgot it existed but I love it a lot!

Here's the link to it if you are interested <3 2025-01-22 10:46:26 +0000 UTC View Post

Wastelands

Wastelands

Today I went for a walk to look for inspirations for photos. I picked a place that always inspired me - a beach were I took so many sunset self-portraits. It was a beautiful place where I almost felt like I was next to a sea. Unfortunately today it looked so sad, empty and dirty.

I almost thought I was on another planet or I survived some kind of apocalypse because it felt so strange. Her...

Demons drinking human blood - Strzyga

Demons drinking human blood - Strzyga

Everyone feared the night, as darkness concealed all the demons that lay in wait for lonely people. One such demon was the Strzyga, also known as the Wąpierz, Upiór, or the living dead. This demon was particularly dangerous because it would bite and suck the blood from humans and livestock.

Even while alive, it was possible to recognize who would return as a Strzyga after de...

Devil's Rite

Hello!

Today I wanted to show you another photoshoot with my favourite find - this huuge skull (also I wanted to ask you if you have any idea which animal skull is that? I was thinking maybe a young moose?). I painted it with blood to match my makeup and dress.

I still can't get enough of this Winter. After I came back from the mountains it snowed even in the city! (The last photo...

Strzyga II

Strzyga II

I know I said that the previous photoshoot was the most painful but this one definietly won. It was so freezing cold but the photos are worth it. I had to take a hot bath after a long walk back home.

I wanted to recreate a photoshoot I did about 2 years ago inspired by slavic demon - Strzyga (more about it soon) because I wasn't that happy with the results. This time in a different scener...

The Dead Forest

The Dead Forest

Sometimes I just want to feel like a witch living alone in the woods... Well, maybe more often than "sometimes".

It was a perfect weather. Wind was howling between the mountains. I found a shelter in the larch forest. It looked so dark and scary... dead even with all the growths on the empty branches.

In that forest there was a cottage. Almost fully destroyed by the passing time b...

2024 Recap & favourite photos

2024 Recap & favourite photos

Like every year I want to do a short summary of the year before. It's really awesome to read the recaps few years later and see how much my life has changed and how many cool photos I took.

This year was really challenging for me. One of the hardest years (if not the hardest) in my personal life and the best year in my photography career, so let's focus on the positives.

1. The beg...

Slavic Doll

Slavic Doll

Meet a girl and her cat. She lives in a small wooden cottage far in the Polish mountains.

It's the middle of the Winter. There's a narrow path leading into the forest. It's barely visible through all the snow. You are in the middle of nowhere and it's getting darker really fast, you could have sworn you still have a few hours left till sunset but you guessed the hike took longer than you...

I am comming with some big news! My series inspired by Slavic Demonology was recognised by Slavic Press Agency (iSAP) - a well known in Polish pagan community.

To celebrate that I wanted to do a photoshoot inspired by one of my most favourite pagan ritual - Forefather's Eve. Here is an article about this custom written by iSAP. It's written in Polish but it is worth to translate. View Post

The Longest Night

The Longest Night

Today let's do a little break from slavic folklore and let's move up north.

Like many Christian traditions, Saint Lucia’s Day has pagan roots. In the Julian calendar, the winter solstice was celebrated on December 13th, then believed to be the longest night of the year. The Yule period was presumed to be rife with danger. Particularly in northern Europe, people believed the...

Leaving the shelter

Today I wanted to show you the first photoshoot I did in what felt like forever. After my dog passed away I threw myself in the whirlwind of work because being at home and doing nothing was awful.

Today I decided that it's finally time for me to go out and look for places for photos. I didn't have any plan but I decided to go to the part of forest I rarely visit. I was walking and enjoyi...
