HOLO1
‘HOLO1’ is a fashion story set in a dystopian future, where the border between real and artificial has almost disappeared. The visuals portray an artificially created female avatar designed to fulfil the user's desires. Her character is challenged by a contrary female figure, representing real and uncompromised femininity. The contrast between the two marks the line between reality and fantasy.


THRILLER
From the lightning in the sky, as it pass'd me flying by, from the thunder, and the storm; and the cloud that took the form, when the rest of Heaven was blue of a demon in my view.


MANTIS
Mantis is a fashion editorial exploring the theme of femme fatale. The main motive was inspired by the sexual cannibalism observed in most predatory species of mantis. This act is seen when female begins feeding of the male’s bitten head during the sexual encounter. Mantis challenges the male gaze by confronting erotic performances with the sinister female figure.


PHANTOM
Phantom is an editorial commenting on the idealised image of women produced by advertising. Advertisers use artificially idealised and objectified images of human bodies to evoke desires that are subconsciously associated with the products of consumption. However, through the process of the constant reshaping of the human body, its representation stops aligning with reality. Our bodies no longer match the beauty ideals presented on the billboards or posters. Therefore, the idols of advertising are merely idealised mannequins of consumption, which trick us into believing that what we see is real.


RADIATION
Radiation is an editorial done in collaboration with fashion designer Aleksandra Trojnar. Her newest collection, Anihilacja, strongly inspired by two massive nuclear accidents in Fukushima and Chernobyl, explores the way radiation affected living organisms. I wanted my images to respond to the designs, so I focused on the moment of explosion and disaster right after it.
I imagined the moment of reactor explosion being both visually fascinating and drastic in its effect. Being further inspired by Cherenkov radiation discovery, I decided to link the metaphoric disaster with the visual of the blue light phenomenon caused by the nuclear fission reaction.
This imaginary scenario created an extraordinary contrast between the dramatic results of the explosion and beauty of its form. That is why‚ romantic apocalypse became the leading theme for the editorial. I wanted this project to be full of beauty that is emphasised by the drama. By using the contrast between romantic sunset scenery and creepy night fulfiled with theatrical poses, the project formed an unreal visual gradient. The industrial and raw surrounding is the foundation of the apocalyptic feel that combined with magical designs, and visual aesthetics creates surreal images.
