Portrait nominee

Back to nature - is a photography series that was created at the end of summer. It expressed my emptiness and longing for close contact with nature. Everyday communing with the city, a life that was completely absorbed by work and duties, have deprived me of the most important - contact with nature that was once close to me. Photography began to be my therapy, thanks to which I returned and found peace in nature. The nature of my photos is both Slavic and mystical. My works are supposed to show love, longing, and willingness to care for the beauty of what surrounds us. The last photo is an act to show that we come from nature and we are part of it.
The session was held in Poland (Grodzisk Mazowiecki). Model was my dear friend Sylwia Pokropka.
The dresses come from second-hand shops, all in the spirit of zero waste.
