3. Fine Art / Portrait – Girl in Dress Among Foliage

A young woman stands among lush greenery, wearing a flowing dress. Her hair is tousled by the wind, and the natural surroundings frame her in a dreamlike, ethereal scene — a blend of freedom, beauty, and movement.

I have been passionate about photography for several years — at first as a hobby, and now also as my profession. Through my lens, I strive to show women their own beauty — gentle, strong, and unique. I love creating images filled with light, tulle, and emotion — photographs that tell stories.

In 2023, I went through a difficult time battling cancer. That experience taught me to choose myself and to follow what I truly love. Photography became my way of discovering beauty in everyday life and showing others that each of us deserves to feel special.

Despite my still modest experience, I received a distinction in a photography competition organized by Szymon Brodziak — out of more than 500 submissions, my work reached the top selection. This recognition strengthened my belief that I’m walking the right path.
