Backstage video "Song of the Mavka" 🌿

Hi my friends! 💛

For the very first time, I decided to make a backstage video showing the whole process how I actually create my self-portraits.

If you enjoy this kind of format, I’ll try to make more behind-the-scenes videos in the future.

It definitely drains my phone battery like crazy 😅 but it’s still so interesting to watch the whole process from the outside, even for me!

So let me know what you think do you like this type of video or not really?

The last film series from Iceland 🇮🇸

This is the final set from my Icelandic film rolls and I’d really love to ask for your opinion!

Would you like me to continue creating these kinds of film photographs during my travels?

Or would you prefer that I focus more on film self-portraits, my own journey, and a bit of lifestyle around it?

I’d be truly grateful for your thoughts. 💙

Super exclusive set "Song of the Mavka"

Raw. Natural. Super 1nt1mate.

There’s a moment in the forest when the air itself feels alive, when light touches skin like wind touches wings.
You’ll receive an super exclusive expl1c1t set with 47 photographs !

This set is about that fragile connection between wildness and softness, between surrender and power.

It’s not about being seen, it’s about being felt.

Every image is a heartbeat of the forest, a whisper of something untamed yet deeply human.

Self Portraits "Song of the Mavka" 🌿 Part 1

Hey loves 💚

I decided to take a short break from the Iceland project and show you my latest self-portraits instead ✨

These are now among my favorite ones, maybe because I spent more than three hours completely naked, running back and forth through the forest with a tripod 😅

It was, of course, physically very challenging for me, and afterward my whole body was in pain, my muscles were literally fighting back, but I’m truly happy with the result, because I felt an ab...

"Flow" set on the waterfall💧

We actually didn’t plan to shoot at this waterfall at all. We were just driving by, saw it and couldn’t resist stopping 😅

This waterfall is located right next to the geysers (which I’ll show and tell you about a bit later). Of course, there were lots of people around, especially in summer. That’s one of the biggest challenges in Iceland now 🙈

Sometimes we had to wait until night to take pictures, sometimes we’d rent a place nearby, wake up at 4 a.m. and drive there...

🌲 A Little Escape Into the Woods

Recently, we went away for two days, just an hour’s drive from Warsaw, and honestly, it was the best decision ever. I’m so happy we did it. It was our very first short trip like that in all the time we’ve been living in Poland (1.5 years ), and I only wish we’d done it earlier ✨

When you wake up and the only thing you see is the forest, deer walking by, birds singing, and absolute silence… no people, no crowds, no planes flying over your head, it’s pure magic !

"Purple Rain" set 💜

This is one of my favorite series, even though many people don’t share my opinion, thinking it looks too simple))

But for me, it’s all about that sky- the soft, overcast clouds that completely mesmerized me that day. I couldn’t take my eyes off them.

It was freezing cold, and if you look closely, you can spot a small snow-covered mountain in the distance with a strange cloud formation above it - almost like a tiny cyclone. I actually tried to capture it on film when we were ...

Cozy Film set ✨

Film version of a set you’ve already seen before, but honestly, it feels completely different))

There’s something so warm and cozy about the film, it turned out much softer, more homely 🏡

Maybe it’s just me, but in this particular series I think I actually prefer the film version))

What about you? 🌿

Physiological Miracle

What’s been happening to me over the past year I call it a physiological miracle.

Yesterday, I found myself thinking again:

How is it even possible that with fibromyalgia, myofascial pain syndrome, an endometriotic cyst almost 5 cm in size, and, on top of that, on the very first day of my period- I climbed mountains?

And yet I walked. I kept climbing.

While around me were perfectly healthy people, athletic people who struggled, who stopped more often than I did, who ...

Only our Moment Video Trailer ❤️‍🔥

Hey friends! So… this is the last video from Iceland ✨

And honestly - my favorite stay of the whole trip!

This place was absolutely unreal- vintage vibes, panoramic windows, and such a fair price for what it is. We spent two nights here, and it was pure magic.

Of course, we couldn’t resist filming something special))

If you’re on the higher tier, you’ve already seen my film photos from this house- yes, the ones on that table… and the other one too 😅 I wo...

"The Witcher" with Danya

Hi friends!

This was honestly one of the most unusual shoots I’ve ever done!

The village itself surprised me even before we started, I only recently learned that it was artificially built for the series "The Witcher" 💫 You’d never guess though, it looked 100% real!

We suddenly got the idea to take a few quick photos there, even though people were walking around 🤣

It was definitely uncomfortable and a bit risky, but the shots turned out so unique that I’m th...

Hi friends!

I’m excited to share a beautiful new series from one of the most iconic places in Iceland!

I’m pretty sure many of you have already seen it in videos or photos, it’s truly unique and breathtaking ✨

What fascinated me the most was watching the wind sweep the black sand between the soft green dunes and small islands. It creates such a dramatic, panoramic view, vast, majestic, and almost surreal.

There were quite a lot of people around...

My recent trip to Spain ❤️‍🔥

Hi my dear friends,

I’m so excited to share a new series of photographs from my recent trip to Spain to visit my dear friend Lolita ❤️

Honestly, this journey became a kind of reset for me, even though almost every day was filled from morning to night with shooting. Before this trip I was so utterly exhausted and emotionally drained by all the latest medical news- another ovarian cyst, new endo...

A small photo series from the glacier with Danil ✨

You might remember the glacier series I shot three years ago with Ira Lozova, during our very first trip to Iceland. Back then things felt so different- there were at least three or four times fewer tourists at exactly the same time of year.

Shooting nudes in such locations has now become quite a challenge, as there are simply too many people around. That’s why we waited until night, hoping for fewer crowds. We were completely...

Some backstages from the forest 🌳

Recently I spent three full hours in the forest creating new self-portraits and even an exclusive set for you 😏✨

I absolutely love the feeling of being one with nature, it never drains me the way shooting self-portraits inside four walls does 🙈

Of course, this kind of pleasure comes with a little price: here are my legs two days later - still covered in scratches and tiny cuts from needles and branches 🤣

And yes, my muscles are aching now, but it was so worth it...

I really love this video, t’s so atmospheric and romantic 🖤

We shot it totally spontaneously, it wasn’t planned at all… but maybe that’s what makes it feel so real and tender))

It holds a special place in my heart.

Curious to know how does it feel to you? 💫

Another small series of film self portraits ✨

I’ll never get tired of saying how magical film is, even in the most ordinary circumstances!

I realized that if I were a billionaire, I would honestly shoot everything on film instead of using a phone- every little moment of the day 🙈😅 Lately, I’ve started noticing details even more than before (though I didn’t think that was possible). Now I literally want to capture every leaf, every thread of a spider’s web on film!...
