View On Black and Large is a MUST (!)

Before I landed in Italy, I made a photoshoot with amazing bike rider and my friend - Szymon Zieleniewicz. This is one of the final shots from the series.

Strobist info: this one was a bit tricky because of the lack of space; AB800 in lastolite umbrella box high and right, pointed at opposite wall and ceiling

View On Black and Large isn't actually a must since it looks better on white :)

This is Roxanne - a girl who I met by fortune. Suddenly we realized we have many friends in common and thank facebook for that. Actually almost every friend I have she already knew ;D

Scheduling our shoot was quite a challenge since she lives in Frankfurt, Germany but fortunately there was a weekend when she flew to Poland so we had our chance. Oh, did I mention she's Hollister model? ;)

Strobist info: this was a bit complicated: AB800 in Lastolite UmbrellaBox high and above, studiolight left and behind in softbox, another studiolight right in softbox BUT pointing at the big white reflector on the left to give her legs some light

I present to You my first prom photoshoot!!!

Naaaah, just kiddin' ;) I don't do stuff like this but it was fun though. My business partner, Filip, asked me to help him suprise his girlfriend. As I love to shoot, especially a young beautiful woman, plus I like doing something in a good cause, I couldn't agree more!

So while Sara was preparing for her prom, I was preparing our new studio which is a totally mess right now. She had no idea about the photoshoot and was pretty shocked when she realized what's going on :)

Such a shame we had only 15minutes to nail it down but you will surely see her a few more times in the nearest future.

Strobist info: AB800 in lastolite umbrella box in front of them, SB-26 in umbrella on the left back and Powerlux (studio light) in umbrella on the right back.

I always wanted to shoot people that are involved in hip hop community and finally I had the opportunity. This is my friend Daniel who I have known since elementary school. We were sitting on the same bench in the same class, which is funny to remember after all these years. It's nice to renew acquaintance with somebody :)

Lately I had lack of time to release my creativity but finally I found a minute or two to shoot something.

This is my friend Conrad and this is another shot from our photoshoot in studio.

What's important and what I need to remember is to NEVER do a photoshoot without an assistant any more. It's like... Your brain can focus only on your ideas, You don't need to worry about gear, logistics and so on. Once more, a BIG thanks to my fellow Tomek :)

After our shoot in studio we decided to grab another few frames on location. Specially for this occasion we woke up at 6 a.m and headed to the place where we were supposed to start shooting but unfortunately we realized that the place was razed to the ground... Same thing with the next one... We had no more time since sun started to rise really fast so without a second thought I grabed my camera and started shooting just straight into the light.

Oh, and btw, we literally almost died on this bridge... It's all wooden and old with BIG gaps between timbers. Moreover, we didn't check timetable so had no idea about any trains that could just knock us off. Oh and did I mention it's like 100 feet high? :) But it was worth it!

Tell me what You think and stay tuned to the next frames!

About post processing: I'm not used to use textures, brushes, shifter colors etc but I thought they would fit great in this case. Tell me what You think!

This is my friend Conrad. I'd love to write a bit more about this photoshoot but I'm really tired after friday night so please excuse me ;)

Few days ago I had a chance to test my new studio place. It's still in progress but I wanted to shoot something so I didn't care about dirty walls etc ;)

I asked Amanda to be my model and she did really great! This is what came off and there's much more so stay tuned!

Btw. it looks a bit oversharpen on flickr...

My fellow friend and his girlfriend have been complimenting my work for a while but actually I never had a chance to shoot them, until I found out Tom is going to move out to Italy for three months. I had to take these shots before he leaves so the Natalie could not only hear his voice (they phone each other every evening) but also look at him every day ;)

View On Black and Large isn't a MUST (!) actually since it looks better on white ;)

This photograph was laying in my archive almost a year, waiting for its publish. I couldn't decide if I should show it or not because you need to have really calibrated monitor and look at it in the evening (or at night) for the best viewing results. I like it though. I'm a graphic designer too so I like everything that you can easly make a poster or book cover out of. Especially, if the photograph looks so good straight from camera. There were no post processing on this one.

Strobist info: don't remember, it was AB800 in BD above I think.

Joanne again. I did a big friggin' mistake in this photo which drives me crazy and I would love to re-shoot it but I don't have time for that at the moment :(

Feel free to tell me what you think.

Joanne this time, new photoshoot. Been a while since our last photo-meeting and I must admit she improved her modeling skills.

I never tried this CG poster-looking-like photos before so I gave it a shot and I'm really pleased with the results. Tell me what You think!

Decided I need a new selfpotrait. I wanted to create something fresh and "Pow Wow!" but finally it came out moody, shadow-y and so on. But I'm ok with that. I can live with it for a while. Actually I think it describes my nature. I'm very energetic, vigorous, almost hot-headed but there's always the other side of my character which tells me to think and plan (but not stop, just do what you need to do but don't let you kill yourself ).
