Photojournalism nominee

„Burleska” (Burlesque) is the result of an intimate journey into the seemingly forgotten world of free expression and love for the female body. Although the process of creating was typical for a reportage, the author expressed her vision in a series of impressions that included studio photography and painting. The project involved the greatest stars of Polish burlesque. The main aim of the project was to show burlesque as a taboo-breaking performance and an accessible form of art. In their performances, the artists do not seek the ideal but they want to show their naturalness and joy resulting from the bond with their bodies and the audience. They also want to inspire, especially those who feel insecure in their skin. Burlesque's greatest ambition is to delve into the relationship that has been built between the photographer and the photographed, and to try to change the perspective of looking at the female body.
