Open your eyes and face your life! Your fate has to come true! Fling your horizons wide! Rise bridges up crss the boggy mires with your precious, young woman’s hands.
Along the fascinating highway of your life keep walkin on ahead, on over the mountains! Bite into fruits as you laugh! Drink from the springs! Kiss everyone your good luck brings your way!
Wave a hello to the further-distant star, use your own hands to dig yourself a grave, and then, with a grin, lie down in it!
Then may the earth’s hands lovingly bring up into the light, out of your body’s grace slender and new the stalk of a flower! …
Florbela Espanca

Travel Portrait
This piece of the Portuguese poet from the book ‘Lisbon Poets’ was printed in my memory immediately. Straightforward, motivating, adventurous. A woman and nature are connected based more on cooperation than unity, which accents her independence. Thus I think that this poem shows perfectly the spirit of my female outdoor photography. I travel very often, I love to discover new places. Though, usually my friends are an impulse and a destiny of my travels. Maybe because of that, female outdoor photography is one of my favourites – it connects people and places. Many of these photos were taken during further trips (e.g. Lisbon, Palma de Mallorca, Covilhã). But I was also shooting in places near me – orchard of my grandpa, local stud, botanical garden. But first of all I was inspired by people. Because of that I would like to tell your story, wherever you are.
I would like to thank my models for these photos: Żaneta, Kinga, Sylwia, Ola, Agata, Joanna, Agnieszka, three Katarzynas and Klaudia. I invite you to CONTACT ME to get more information about the photo shooting offer and to visit other portrait GALLERIES.
Here is purple – a tree’s shadow walking the gravel path,
the purple linking the red and the sapphire in love. –
There the pinkish bark and the joyous green of birches,
and in the flitting dress of the green the skies’ blue circles.
But within me the white, white, white dwells monotonously –
because in me I carry the hues’ focused mystery. –
Within the white of my whiteness oh how I suffer so –
I want to be a hue – who will smash me into a rainbow?
Maria Pawlikowska-Jasnorzewska,
translated by Marek Lugowski
Black & White
I love colours. However, sometimes a simple black and white portrait reflects the charm of the women better. Beauty is not always obvious and often lays low even for themselves. At the beginning, many of my models said shyly that actually they do not look good in pictures, that they do not feel comfortable, that it will not work out. I understand it perfectly. I do have similar feelings while posing in front of the camera. But also I know these are just temporary impressions. It is necessary to give ourselves time to get used to the presence of a lens and attention focused just on us. Slowly we become more aware of how our body works and how it looks through the prism of the camera.
Eureka!
In psychology, there is a revealing and eye-opening “Aha!” moment. In photography this “Eureka!” the effect is subtle and unwitting. Model’s eyes are a little bit more shiny. Her body becomes more relaxed. Slowly she takes initiative and starts to propose ideas of new captures. She smiles with satisfaction while watching thumbnail photos on the camera screen. For me, as a photographer it is the most satisfying moment. This time, when a prisma of the lens smashes a woman into a rainbow.
I would like to thank my models for black and white portrait: Ewa, Magdalena, Joanna, Jola, Fiia, Żaneta, Kinga, two Agatas, two Annas and Beata. I invite you to CONTACT to get more information about the photo shooting offer and to visit other portrait GALLERIES.
Medieval conflict between secular and spiritual authority had a great impact on the city. Papacy, emperor and Italian city-states were involved in the outside strife. While the inside fights were battled between Guelphs (the Holy Roman Emperor supporters) and Ghibellines (the Pope supporters). Bologna used to pass from hands to hands many times, as a part of the State of the Church or as a city of the Lombard League. Turbulent history caused construction of many defensive buildings. Whereas resilient development of a Medieval commune (12th – 14th century) resulted in demographic growth. Urbanism of the growing city presented a challenge. The independent city was supporting its economy by using local materials, such as selenite1, clay or oakwood. Under the influence of these circumstances, architecture of Bologna formed its characteristic features.
The Two Towers … For a Living
In the 12th and 13th century Bologna had to look like a Medieval version of Manhattan. In this period, there were around 100-180 residential towers. It is easy to guess that the buildings served as an accommodation and a place of defence. In this way, rich families were protecting themselves against local and outside conflicts.
All the towers were built according to a similar scheme. The construction was raised on foundation piles and had a plan close to a square. The base was made of a local material – selenite. Representative ground floor was connected with upper levels only with stairs that were easy to remove in case of an attack. Thereby households were hiding from the enemies on the higher part of the tower. Lighter construction of rubble masonry2 was applied above the base. A space between double, brick-built walls was filled with hardcore, stones and lime mortar. The thickness of the walls was decreasing upwardly. Characteristic square holes in the structure served to fix a scaffolding. Dark and narrow towers were not a perfect place to live. With time, they become just a symbol of richness in the race for the highest building.
To use better a limited space of the growing city, the towers were demolished or adopted to public functions (e.g. jails or shops). Just 20 of them survived until today. The most famous Two Towers of Bologna are Asinella (97.2 m high) and its crooked neighbour Garisenda (48 m high, 3,2 m angled). The last one was mentioned by Dante in the Divine Comedy.
As when one sees the tower called Garisenda
from underneath its leaning side, and then a cloud
passes over and it seems to lean the more,
thus did Antaeus seem to my fixed gaze
as I watched him bend. 3
La Rossa – The Red City
The nickname of Bologna – La Rossa (The Red) is mostly associated with the resistance movement and Italian Communist Party. However, the history of this colour is much older. In the 12th century the independent city placed importance on local resources – clay (bricks and terracotta), selenite, sandstone and oakwood. Natural red hue of the raw materials, especially these made of clay, accented an independence from the Pope, who was represented by white colour. Terracotta – it. terra cotta means literally “baked earth”. It was used mostly as material of decorative elements for example sculptures, tiles, slates or gutters (sima). Also, many buildings have a characteristic finish of walls. Sagramatura is a technique in which bricks are covered with pigmented lime mortar, in such a way that the texture of the wall is still visible. The best examples of the mentioned decorations are renaissance palaces Palazzo Bolognini Amorini Salina and Palazzo della Mercanzia.
Neo-Gothic architecture of Bologna also referred to medieval materials and colors. In this way, for ages, the historical center of the city was dominated by red. Nowadays, to prevent consistency and colour scheme, the city introduced the regulations called “Piano di Colore”4. The rules define all acceptable hues of red, that are allowed on elevations.
Limitless Portico5
By the end of the 13th century Bologna was in the top ten most populated cities of Europe – around 50 000 citizens. There was not enough space for such a population. A difficulty was that wooden structure of buildings hindered upper extensions. Narrow streets limited the width of the houses. Moreover, property tax was dependent on the size of a ground floor. But smart Bolognesi found a way to solve this problem. To increase the space of the building, they started to build light, wooden construction in front of the main facade, but starting from the first floor. Initially the structures had a form of a bay window6 or covered terrace. Very fast, the citizens understood that they can increase the construction even more by supporting columns on the base floor. In this way bay windows transformed into porticos.
Covered passages had also extra advantages – protection from the sun and rain. Their usefulness was appreciated by the authorities of the city. In 1288 the citizens were ordered to build porticos in front of every house. The regulations determined a minimum height around 2,66 m – a size of a man with a hat sitting on a horse. Nowadays porticos in Bologna have a total length of 38 km. One of the most famous passages starts from the city gate Porta Saragozza and leads to the sanctuary of Madonna di San Luca. The fun fact is that it has exactly 666 arches.
Your next stop in this architectural journey around the city should be Sfolia Rina, where I have tried the best designed ravioli. If you would like to know more about the architecture of Italy check out other galleries. Also I would like to thank Giulia, who answered with a great enthusiasm for all my questions about the city.

Paris – the City of Love. It is the first association that come to our mind. However, etymology is more mundane. The name of the city does not derive from Trojan prince (and lover) Paris. It came from the Celtic tribe Parisii that used to live on this area. Personally, there is another alias of the city that I find more exciting: Paris – the City of Light (La Ville Lumière). It refers literally to urban illumination but also to the Age of Enlightenment (the Age of Reason).
Enlightment
One of the most important ideas of the age are: primacy of reason (rationalism, humanism), exclusivity of natural laws and forces (naturalism) as well as transformation of social, religious and political life (reformism). The City of Light played an important role in this period. The Age of Reason began (1715 – death of Louis XIV) and ended (1789 – outbreak of the French Revolution) in Paris. This is precisely where Diderot and d’Alembert published the first encyclopedia. Montesquieu was promoting the theory of separation of powers. And Voltaire canvassed for rational thinking, liberalism and tolerance. Speaking about architecture from this period, it is noticeable that time frames are less precise and ideas are not that clear-cut. In the time of the Enlightenment, we are able to distinguish two totally different styles – Late Baroque (also known as Rococo, 1675 – 1750) and Neoclassicism (1760 – 1830).
French Architecture of 18th Century
Baroque is one of the most decorative architectural style. Full of theatricality, gold-plated details reflected in mirrors as well as dramatic light contrasts on rotund forms. As if it were not enough, Rococo brought even more ornaments. Surprisingly, the style did not lose its lightness. A spectator can be overwhelmed by splendour but definitely not by heaviness of forms. The style impacts our sensuality in a sentimental and sly way. An iconic example of the French Baroque is Palace of Versailles with its stunning Hall of Mirrors.
A successive style – Neoclassicism was a better representation of the the Enlightenment’s theories. Archeological research of Herculaneum and Pompeii1 became an impulse of a throw-back to classical architecture of Ancient Rome and Greece. Also great minds of this age (like D. Diderot, J. J. Rousseau) were promoting simplicity and antique values, determining a way forward of art. Thus, purist forms straight from Ancient Rome and Greece replaced exaggerated Baroque decorations. Monumentalism and harmony of the buildings was brought out by rhythmic columns and a symmetric plan. Balanced amount of ornaments lent elegance and dignity but did not resort to minimalism. In Paris, the most well-known examples are Arc de Triomphe and Pantheon. The new style was also implemented in Palace of Versailles – Petit Trianon2 and Belvedere3.
Louvre Palace is an interesting comparative example. It has elevations in both of above-mentioned. Western (inner) facade of the Cour Carrée – Pavillon de l’Horloge (Clock Pavilion) is baroque. Eastern (outside) facade of the Cour Carrée – Colonnade de Perrault has a typical classical style. You can find the scheme of the museum plan here.
Illumination
An evening walk along the Elysian Fields or view for the night illumination of the Eiffel Tower (20 000 light bulbs!), is enough to notice an important role of artificial lighting in the identity of the place. Paris – the City of Light was one of the first European cities with gas street lighting on a big scale (1829). Around thirty years later, the number of the lamps increased to 56 000. Nowadays, there are 296 buildings and 33 bridges with special illumination. It is no wonder that Paris by night is full of life.
Moreover, I pointed out natural lighting condition during the day. In November the city had an elegant, opaque light in a dove-grey hue. Soft colours of cloudy sky and monochromatic town-houses were in contrast with sharp angles of dark mansards4. Deep tones of autumn trees were representing the last energetic points of summer. Maybe, expect for permanently crowded bars. To be honest, I really liked this sentimental version of Paris.
To get more informations about Louvre and discover unobvious connections in its exhibition plan, check my other gallery. I am also curious if, after reading, you are able to recognize Baroque and Neoclassical style. Let me know in the message.
1Herculaneum and Pompeii were two ancient cities in Italy, destroyed by volcanic eruption of Vesuvius (79 AD). 2Petit Trianon – Small Trianon is a small château, built in the Versailles garden for the king’s mistress Madame de Pompadour. 3Belvedere (from Italian for “fair view”) – a garden building in a form of pavillon, terrace or open gallery that has a scenic view for particularly interesting composition or viewing axis. Because of that it was mostly located on a hill. 4Mansard – living compartment in the attic. In this case the roof has a specific two-slope shape. An upper part is more flat (small pich). A lower part is almost vertical. The roof cover is also part of the facade of the last level.
Ponta Delgada is the biggest town on the Saint Michel Island (São Miguel). It fulfils a function of the Autonomous Region of the Azores capital as well. Other eight islands of the archipelago have equally interesting names: Flowers, Crow, Beech, Peak, Saint George, Charming, Third, Saint Mary (pt. Flores, Corvo, Faial, Pico, São Jorge, Graciosa, Terceira, Santa Maria). It was February. The sun used to appear rarely. Because of that, we were celebrating this moment, having breakfast on a driveway of a rented guest house. With an additional hour1 we stopped our inner rush. There were nine of us but everybody had its own space of the isolation. We have been discovering places independently until we were imbued with sky, earth and water. Unknown Island belonged to us for a moment.
Sky
A bird was circling above our heads. Maybe it was a hawk, that had been seen by the sailors of Henry the Navigator? Portuguese rediscovered islands in the 15th century and the name of the archipelago probably comes from the word açor (pt. hawk). Famous Azores High was bringing us rain and wind spontaneously. During the day our vision was escaping beyond the horizon, through undiscovered layers of mist. A far-sightedness was disappearing in the deep darkness of the night. All that mattered was in the range of the lamp’s light – table and us.
Earth
São Miguel could not hide its origin. Even if craters of extinct volcanoes filled with water. They resembled oval mirrors and allowed us to see a double universe in all water tables. The black sand of coast was passing through the ocean’s hourglass. The only European tea plantations Chá Porto Formoso (since 1878) and Chá Gorreana (since 1883) were basking in the sun. Amber colour of the drink matched perfectly the tones of the sunset.
Water
It was still possible to feel the warm breath from the centre of the earth. Furnas (pt. cave), Fogo (pt. fire) and Sete Cidades (pt. seven cities) are three zones of volcanic activity, harbouring hot springs and geysers. In the complex of Terra Nostra red water2 of a swimming pool contrasted with the lacklustre greenery of a botanic garden. Hot springs in Caldeira Velha looked totally different – lush green vegetation was everywhere, like in a tropical jungle. Our bodies were melting in warm water until they became inert3.

1In winter Azores has UTC -1 time zone, there is one-hour difference compared to Portugal (UTC+0) and two hours compared to Poland (UTC+1). 2Orange colour of the water is caused by a high content of minerals. 3Water temperature in Terra Nostra – 35-40 Celsius. Water temperature in Caldeira Velha – 20-34 Celsius.
The Autonomous Region of Madeira is a Portuguese archipelago in the Atlantic Ocean, including the islands of Madeira, Porto Santo, Ilhas Desertas (pt. desert islands – 3) and Ilhas Selvagens (pt. wild islands – 19). Most of them are uninhabited, and this, in my opinion, makes them even more evocative. I stayed on the Madeira between February and March. In 2014 it was the period of carnival. I was travelling with two friends and we have been very lucky. Alberto – the owner of our hostel (Residencial Funchal) has been organizing private guided tours around the island. Thanks to that we were able to see everything with the eyes of Madeiran.
Sun
At the end of the day, Alberto took us to Porta do Sol (pt. Gate of The Sun) to see the sunset above the ocean. We were watching it in silence. “We do not need money, the sun is our gold,” he said after a moment of reflection.
Indeed, not without a reason, Madeira is called the land of eternal spring. For a person who came here directly from the middle of the Polish winter, contrast was really huge. On the farmer’s market, it was hard to guess the names of some fruits and vegetables. On the plantation, I have seen banana flower for the first time. We jumped over the fence (despite the fear of dogs’ presence) just to see it closer. It looked like a big cone and had a red-violet colour. I also got to know how to eat fresh passion fruit – after cutting it in half, its pulp should be smashed and sugared, to get rid of the acid taste. Wine is not the only one drink Madeira is famous for. Fruity cocktails perfectly represent the flavours of the island. Sweet Poncha – aguardente mixed with lemon juice and honey (or sugar cane molasse) or Niquita – white wine, pineapple and vanilla ice cream.
Paradise on Earth
We were walking along the harbour of Funchal. An elegant waiter with a silver platter stopped us to show the menu. I think he was a bit bored of waiting for customers, that is why he started a little chit-chat. He was curious about our trip and from where we came. Poland seemed to be a very faraway country. “We do not need to leave this island, we have paradise here,” the waiter said confidently.
Madeira in Portuguese means wood. The name was given by discoverers of archipelago João Gonçalves Zarco and Tristão Vaz Teixeira. The island appeared to them as a dark, black cloud suspended in the south-west. For me too, Madeira seems to be very ethereal. Temperature and humid air were hiding the land in the mist. After a moment everything was filled with sunlight and shining in all tones of green. Dynamics of these changes contrasted with static mountain tops and little villages, hidden in the valleys. Volcanic origins of the island were particularly visible at the seaside. Black rocks and sand created here natural marine swimming pools (like the one in Porto Moniz). Irrigation channels that are going through mysterious laurel forests are called levadas. Water transported from north of the island is watering its southern parts. Former service pathways along the channels are currently used as tourist trails. I felt like a discoverer of a new world when I was following one of them – Caldeirão Verde. In the end, a mystical waterfall (around 100m high) arose before our eyes.
Saudade
One evening we were trying to find a fado4 concert in Funchal. Traditional Portuguese music is really melancholic and tells about ‘saudade’ – gratitude and longing for things that happened in the past. All places in the bar (pt. tasca) were already occupied. A lady, who appeared to be the owner of the venue, allowed us to listen to it from the porch. Guests were sitting between the musicians (Portuguese guitar and vocal) in the half-light. “This restaurant is our family business. Today one of our members died, but we had no choice, the show must go on”, the owner explained in a whisper. A girl singing in the middle of the room had tears in her eyes. Fado music has never been more meaningful than that day.

ANNOTATIONS:
1An alcoholic beverage distilled from wine. The name means “burning water”. 2 First pieces of information about the archipelago came from Phoenicians. Portuguese sailors João Gonçalves Zarco and Tristão Vaz Teixeira discovered island Porto Santo. 3 Laurel forests are designated as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. 4A genre of music called Portuguese Blues.
Narrow atmospheric streets of Old Town, industrial spaces, modern realisations as well as green parks and greens. Diversity of the city allows to capture many interesting shots. If we know where to look for.
Brzozowa and Kamienne Schodki Street
Brzozowa Street (pl. Birch Street) used to be called in the past Under the City Walls or Between Garners. It adjoins the main square of the Warsaw Old Town but it is less busy, which allows for more private shots. Buildings along the street (former garners and magazines transformed into houses) are placed on the register of monuments. An atmosphere is even more charming because of a cobbled street. Whereas, Kamienne Schodki Street (pl. Stony Stairs Street) connects an upper part of Old Town with a lower area of Vistula River. Side elevations frame picturesque stairs along the narrow street.
Grzybowski Square
In the past, it was a market square of the Grzybów Settlement, next to the royal city. Classical townhouses (designed by Italian and German architects) were built after the area became part of the Warsaw. During World War II the square was a part of the Warsaw Ghetto. The All Saint’s Church in Renaissance style and modern 44-storey apartment building Cosmopolitan deserve special attention. After a renovation, the square got some greenery and a pond.
Krasiński Palace & Park
Picturesque park and baroque palace are placed on the register of monuments. In the past, they were part of the Warsaw Ghetto. There is also a baroque entrance gate and a quite big pond. The park is not so popular amongst tourists like for example Royal Baths Park. Because of that it is easier to take pictures without a crowd.
Europejski Square
The modern square occupies a space between buildings of Warsaw Spire Complex. The main skyscraper is the second tallest building in the city. Neomodern architecture, reflective glass facades, minimalistic greenery and water ponds create an interesting background for taking pictures. In September 2016 TUP (Association of Polish Urbanists) awarded the square in category The Best Creation of Public Space.
Between Przyokopowa and Karolkowa Street
These streets are close to the Warsaw Uprising Museum. Initially, they were a part of Czyste Settlement. This zone was mostly occupied with storages and warehouses (for instance Factory of Electric Lamps of Róża Luksemburg), its elements were included in the new buildings. Dark glazed facades of modern development such as Karolkowa Business Park or Wola Center give advantage to portraits, despite limited light.
Garden of Copernicus Science Centre, Powiśle
The Center was designed by studio RAr-2. A rooftop garden refers to topography and flora of River Vistula. It is possible to see the Warsaw city centre from there. Geometric red-grey elevation of the building also encourages to take photos.
Praga Koneser Center, Praga-Północ
Revitalization and adaptation of the Warsaw Vodka Factory “Koneser” connected historic factory with modern architecture. A space between the industrial buildings includes elements of greenery and street furniture. Used materials such as bricks, metal, glass create a tempting background for the pictures.
I placed all spots on the map, that you can see here PORTRAIT WARSAW. More portraits in other GALLERIES.
Massive Genoa (Italy) seems to be immovable. Horizontal, white-green stripes of facades pull down, widen optically, but anyway everything is vertical. Mountainous frontages of the residences on Le Strade Nuove2 are hiding secret gardens and elegant yards. High windows are tightly closed with shutters – even light cannot glimpse private space of inhabitants. Italian architect Renzo Piano built an aquarium in great port.Marine creatures from around the world are kept there – they do not threaten successors of Columbus3 anymore. A sea is the only one border, Genoa is spreading, expanding and accumulating in a multilevel way. It is necessary to look from a distance to see everything.I felt that I was shrinking and vanishing, that I need someone who will lead me by the hand.
Boccadasse
On Corso Italia, someone uses to pour sunlight every day, which slows down steps and causes drowsiness. One should close eyes and walk half dreaming until the end. On the edge – an antique borgo Boccadasse (it. bocca d’asino – donkey’s mouth) – the old marine neighbourhood with remarkable Italian architecture. A little harbour opens mouth to taste salty waves. Simple, nestled houses have loud colours and smell like a sea. They do not fit la Superba4, so they are hidden behind the corner.
Nervi
Is it possible that the district was a Celtic colony? Probably. Its name came from a motto ‘near av inn’ – a place near the sea. The promenade Passeggiata Anita Garibaldi5 is suspended between cliffs and leads to a calm port under the attack of waves. Maybe it still remembers humble beginnings of the daily route of fishermen and farmers? Or glory days, when rich nobles used to build here their summer residences (Villa Gnecco, Villa Gropallo, Villa Luxoro, Villa Saluzzo Serra, Villa Grimaldi Fassio)? The growing settlement, with time, absorbed parks of the maritime villas. The remaining parts of the gardens were combined into the botanical complex Parchi di Nervi. Local people do not speak too much. Maybe because their voices drowned in the sea.

What if a museum exhibition does not a layout submitted to chronology? Is there a mysterious system of composing a gallery? Maybe art leaves its frames and comes to life, and unconsciously we become part of it? Louvre gave me the first chance to discover those connections. Since then every visit to a gallery has been a subtle riddle of combinations.
History
Louvre Museum – one of the best known galleries in the world, was initially just a fortress. Only in the 14th century, it was rebuilt into a gothic residence, whereas thanks to Francis I (16th century) we can enjoy its renaissance architecture and … Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa. French Revolution brought big changes also to the Louvre. The royal palace was transformed into a public museum and officially opened in 1793. With time the exposition was growing thanks to the generosity of French authorities or war trophies. Fortunately, nearly entire collection survived both World Wars and now contains around 554,000 objects. Renovation (1983-1988) brought controversial innovation – glass entrance in the shape of a pyramid by architect Ieoh Ming Pei. Louvre has two satellite museums one in Nord-Pas-de-Calais (France) and the other in Abu Dhabi (United Arab Emirates).
Exposition
Do you notice some subtle bonds?
A corridor leads through exhibition rooms with repetitive dark frames of the doors, it is filled with people. On the left and right side, there are hidden passages with a similar rhythm of vertical accents. Painted passersby are going to the last room with visitors.
A woman in the golden frames is gazing in awe at the struggle of shipwreck survivors – her neighbours. She knows by heart each detail of their drama. The tragedy happens before her eyes on each single day.
Love that should not happen. They are so different. And yet there is something poignant in this woman, something which does not allow him to stop looking at her They are suffering but the distance is impassable.
A maternal feeling is not divided equally, we know a darling. An older child will stay in the shadow, regardless of efforts to exceed his limits.
THE ROLE OF GLASS FACADE DESIGN IN MODERN ARCHITECTURE
Glass became one of the most popular materials in modern architecture. Reflective glazings increase mirror effect and create parallel spaces. Often deformed. Elements of urban space do not connect physically. Without time borders between contemporary and historical buildings. Somehow, glass facades are vertical replacement of water feature – instead of relaxing rustle, they enhance street noise.
Glass – the glare of modern architecture. Is it narcissistic nature of architects or attempt to fit in the context of the place?
