Luna by me ✨

I’m really happy to introduce you to another series, one that came into being completely spontaneously And honestly, the story behind it is just as important as the images themselves))

Lolita has been a long-time fan of the Ukrainian singer Lun...

Self portraits with Lolita ✨

And now the next chapter!

I’m happy to share with you the self-portraits I took together with Lolita. And of course… the horse had to be a part of it 😅

There’s simply no way around her, she appears in almost everything))

I hope you’ll enjoy these images as much as we enjoyed creating them!

WE DID IT !!

We have closed the fundraiser for my treatment!!! 😍❤️‍🔥

But honestly, this isn’t just “good news”. It’s one of those moments when words feel painfully small! Because what happened here is not about money. It’s about connection. About people reaching out to other people. About love, care, and presence in a world that often forgets how powerful these things are !

A little behind-the-scenes for you ❤️‍🔥

Today I’m turning 30 ✨

I don’t think there’s any point in once again telling the whole story of what I’ve been through. You already know it all so well how much is behind me, and how much is probably still ahead. But there’s something I truly need to say out loud.

I am unbelievably, deeply grateful to the Universe and to fate for the day you appeared in my life. For your support, your love, and your hel...

"Lola & Lou" by me 🌱

Hi, my loves!

I’m so happy to finally show you the photographs I took in Spain when I visited Lolita in Barcelona this September. I honestly don’t know how, but within less than a week I somehow managed to shoot an insane amount of completely different photosets — it still feels unreal 🤪

Today I’m excited to share the very first series: Lola & Lou.

And the funni...

I have been preparing this for a long time, and today I can finally share it with you ✨

This auction is very personal for me.

My fundraiser for medical treatment has slowed down recently, I suppose because of Holidays and it’s totally okay, so this auction is something I’m doing in support of my healing journey, with the hope of finally closing the fundraiser and moving forward.

With that in my heart, I’m opening a truly unique auction where the winner will recei...

Sunny Self portraits on phone ☀️

Recently, Mark and I found ourselves talking about something that genuinely left us puzzled.

We started wondering how people live who never do anything for anyone else. People who have never volunteered, never helped, never given their time, energy, or care beyond the narrow circle of their own needs and their family’s comfort.

And I don’t mean this with judgment or superiority ...

Me by Sam 💜 Part 1

This shoot was created back in spring — and I’m so happy we finally got the chance to meet Sam in person!

We ended up talking non-stop throughout the whole session. It’s incredibly rare to meet a photographer who struggles with the same things you do — that intense self-demand, the perfectionism, the constant inner pressure to create something meaningful. Our conversation was so u...

And here it is — the final series of the Iceland 🇮🇸

Remember I told you that the only way to shoot here without crowds was to stay nearby overnight and wake up around 4–5 AM? We had to plan a whole mini-expedition just to catch this place empty. But I couldn’t let myself leave Iceland without this shoot — last time I ran out of time with Ira, and it stayed in my mind for months. So I’m incredibly happy I finally made it happen ✨...

Support Anastasia’s Apheresis Treatment

Asking for help is difficult, But living every day in a body that causes constant pain is even harder.

For almost five years, I have been living with constant, exhausting muscle pain throughout my entire body, severe stiffness, cramps, tremors, and the feeling that my body has stopped being my ally.

This is a condition that takes away the possibility of a normal, full life.

We’re getting so close to the end — only two final series left!

So this one is the second to last in this huge cycle.

You’ve already seen this location before, but I wanted to bring a little variation and a fresh feeling into it. Every set shot here turns out so different, even with the same light and the same mood — I love how alive this place is.

Thank you for stayin...

My life with chronic pain: how I still function, and what keeps me afloat

People often ask me how I live like this, after covid changed my whole life.

How I still function, walk, create, look like a “normal” human being — while others with chronic muscle pain or post-viral syndromes can’t.

Not because I’m looking for sympathy, but because I know how many people are silently suffering and feel completely alone.

A Little Updates ✨

We’ve finally settled into our new place, and it already feels like home — quiet, peaceful, surrounded by nature.

And the only thought I keep repeating is:

why didn’t we leave the city earlier?

The more time I spend here, the more I realise how deeply I want a completely different life — one that doesn’t depend on money, deadlines, social media, or the pressure of co...

"The Game of Thrones Cave" Part 1

We’re down to the last two sets of this Iceland project, and honestly I’m relieved it’s finally wrapping up 🙈 Looking back at how much I shot in just ten days feels a little insane: videos, short films, photos, behind-the-scenes… day after day, in the cold, in pain, pushing through. Then a full month of 24/7 work 12 hours a day editing, grading, assembling. Is anyone even capable of ...

Continuing the Iceland series.

Don’t worry, there are only two more sets left! 😄

Honestly, I’m quite happy that it’s finally coming to an end.

In the next post, I’ll explain why.

But for now here’s a little backstage glimpse from this super cool, magical cave ✨

First selfies from our new home 🪽

I’m trying to get myself back into the working rhythm… but honestly, I still can’t get out of the forest 🙈 Even when it’s below zero outside, all I want is to stay in nature 24/7. This place already feels like a small universe of its own - quiet, alive, breathing 💫

P.S. I still can’t believe that in just a month I’ll turn 30.

Life is moving fast, but somehow...

And here it is, my friends, the final set from this series of self-portraits. 🌿

I really hope you enjoyed them as much as I enjoyed creating them!

As for me, I’m definitely a fan of this last one - that strange forest structure at sunset created such a magical atmosphere ✨

And here’s another series! 🌲

To me, it looks completely different from the previous ones, it’s honestly hard to believe that all these places were right next to each other. The nature, the background, the light-everything felt so different, as if each set was taken in a totally new location!

And that light… pure magic ✨

And here’s one of those strange forest structures I told you about))

It’s clearly been there for a very long time, you can tell by all the moss and its weathered look.

But honestly… seeing something like this right in the middle of the forest felt so atmospheric!

I really wanted to create something unusual with it, but I was honestly a bit afraid to even touch it, it did...

We finally moved

You can officially congratulate us, we finally moved! 🌿✨

It’s not a big house in the woods (not yet!), but a small apartment surrounded by one of the most magical forests I’ve ever seen. Yes, it’s smaller than our previous place, and yes, it’s still not cheap for us (prices here went crazy because of the refugee crisis, even realtors were shocked 😅), but honestly, n...

And here it is, my friends- the very first set featuring that strange wooden (or whatever-it-is) structure we found in the forest 🌲

To be honest, I keep discovering these weird things from time to time, but only in Polish forests!

I keep wondering what they’re actually for, because each one looks so different.

This one is definitely the biggest I’ve ever seen, but I’v...

Small experimental film series 📷

I wouldn’t call it a full, complete set- it happened rather spontaneously: I just needed to finish the roll, and the film stock was meant for outdoor use, not ideal for the conditions))

As a result, many shots were damaged or didn’t turn out the way I expected, but a few moments still came through nicely, so I decided to share them anyway)

Why not, sometimes even accidental fram...
