Alive
"Even in her own heart,
there was no real her.
She was only images,
only alive in front of a camera.
Untouchable.
Unreachable.
Unattainable.
Even in her own heart."
words: Ron Willis
After 6 years in Cumbria we decided to move to New Zealand, where I think we will settle down for good.
In New Zealand I got the chance to make my dreams come true and begin developing my passion for photography.
Being a woman and a mum significantly influences the way I see others, their emotions and their feelings. My images capture spontaneous moments of childhood, family happiness, frank friendship and true love.

entry description
This photo is a self-portrait of me- showing me as a photographer and my feelings about it."Even in her own heart,
there was no real her.
She was only images,
only alive in front of a camera.
Untouchable.
Unreachable.
Unattainable.
Even in her own heart."

about the photographer
I was born and raised in Poland. At the age of 24 I met my lovely partner and year later we decided to move to United Kingdom(Cumbria) and explore the world. We got married and now have two gorgeous boys, Mateusz and Marcin.
