Frieda exhibited!

And it all started on Instagram.

Last weekend I, well, my work was exhibited for the first time. One of the portraits from my series inspired by Frieda Kahlo's style has been accepted and shown as a part of FRAME15 project. And the whole thing happened in Impact Hub Birmingham. What a great honour to be amongst such fantastic artists.

So, first of all here's the print hanging:

And print with me:

The shooting wouldn't be possible without Eva Mevinsky , a make-up artist and also in this case - a model. She styled herself and I shot.Despite make-up I kept it natural, with natural light. And the whole thing started on Instagram, when Eva shared her picture with enormous earrings and I wrote a comment: "You look just like Frieda. Let's shoot Frieda, I always wanted to!". So we did.

The original, much better quality:

The result was much above our expectations: the picture was appreciated so many times on many sharing websites, not to mention Dark Beauty Magazine, and the exhibition of course.

This is an old shooting I did in Warsaw, in August 2012. Believe me or not, we shot just outside my block of flats, in the city centre of one big, still communistic in architechture capital. This few bushes can't even be named as a park - but place is not so important, as long as you can show it properly on you picture. That's what I think, that's what I have to do very often.
What is more: it was the middle of summer holidays, but the rain was pretty bad that day. And it was cold. I love when my models are flexible enough and don't mind to get wet or cold, but I hate to make them suffer. Fortunately Dobrochna was great.

By the way: Dobrochna is a great stylist. You can check her out here .

Of course, I've got few other pictures from this shooting. This one is my personal favourite.

Enjoy!

One of my best and favourites models ever. One of the best make-up artists I had worked with. One of the oldest and still best shootings I've ever made.

2009, Cracow, city full of great monuments and places perfect for taking pictures. Yet we went to the nearest field just outside the city, I remember it was very worm September and the sun was going down. While I was taking pictures Weronika, make-up artist, took Żaklina's hair up and... that's how this happened.

Miss working with you, Żaklina :)
