Shining Star

I keep forgetting how much I like black and white photos. For some reason, while editing, I always think that colour is more "valueable" than lack of it. That's why almost every post has it's own colour theme. This time I didn't like how the first set looked like but after changing it to b&w I loved the photos. I was finally able to focus on the details.

The Last Rays

This weekend was hot! I mean like 34 degrees C hot. I got sunburned pretty badly because I wasn't able to put my sunscreen on in the right time. For many years I was really careful to not spend much time in the open Sun and I had a quick reminder why.

Anyway, I didn't have much time to take photos because this time that was not the reason I went to the mountains. I was actually trying to ...

The Fog Demon

I went to the mountains this weekend to spend some time with nature. I heard that the weather there was really bad. Strong wind, raining all day, storms etc. The thing is - I like this weather so much!

I was staying in a lonely cabin in the middle of nowhere without phone service. To get there I had to leave my car in an old church parking lot in the nearest village and then hike through ...

The Stone Circle

As you know from my last post, last weekend I was visitung my friends in the north of Poland - Kashubia region. The area of ​​today's Kashubia was once inhabited by peoples from Scandinavia - Goths and Gepids who arrived in the second half of the 1st century AD. They left behind burial places, barrows and stone circles. Most likely, they were meeting places for tribal elders, where magical ...

Memories of a foggy morning

A few days ago I was invited by my friends to a house by the lake. It is located in the north of Poland and since I usually travel south I decided to give it a chance.

I arrived at night and we talked, drank and played card games all night. When the night started clearing up we went to the lake. The Sun was still behind the hills but the sky was in the shades of pink and orange. The mists...

Forest Elf

Today I went on a really quick photoshoot for Mostory. They kindly gifted me this crown because I felt like it matches me the best. I was planning to take some more time for this but unexpectedly tomorrow I am going to the north of the country and will spend a few days next to a lake. I will be taking many many photos because I want to take advantage of the Summer days (and nig...

Topielica

In Slavic beliefs, an ominous demon inhabiting water reservoirs, considered the partner of a drowned man. The drowned girl was the soul of a young girl who drowned out of despair or grief, or was drowned intentionally by someone.

Drowned girls appeared in the form of young girls with long fair hair. By calling for help or singing, they lured young men, whom they then drowned.

Water Mirror

"The mirrored water shows time and reality
it shows humans fighting constantly
not caring what gets in front of their screwed up dreams
I wonder will they kill off me too?
if I am gone who will look after the Silent Realm
and see things through the Mirror Water"

"Vyrai" self-portrait - editing tutorial using AI

Hey! As I promised yesterday, I am uploading a new editing tutorial because, for those of you who don't know already, I wanted to show the advantages of using AI in the editing process. It's still not perfect and requires some editing after but honestly it's not bad. 

I mainly wanted to remove the warm light spot from the trees, that's why I picked the most similar fill I could gener...

Vyrai

Vyrai is a mythical place in Slavic mythology where "birds fly for the winter and souls go after death" that is sometimes identified with paradise. Spring is believed to have arrived on Earth from Vyrai. It was apparently located far away beyond the sea, at the end of the Milky Way.

The pagan Slavic peoples thought the birds flying away to Vyrai for the winter and returning to Earth for t...

Location scouting

Today I wanted to talk a little bit about the process of scouting for photoshoot locations because I get a lot of questions about it. Let me know if this kind of backstage posts are also interesting to you. 

Usually I start without a plan. I just go for a walk and see if there's anything interesting in that particular area. Sometimes I try to visualize how this place would look like ...

The Altar

The Earth is my mother, I shall not want. She nurtures me in green pastures; she freshens me with flowing waters. She restores my body and awakens my soul. Although I walk in the shadow of changing seasons and passing time, I will not fear death, for the essence of life is within me, the peace and beauty of Earth comfort me. She teaches me to harvest her abundant gifts, she fills my heart with ...
