9th Julia Margaret Cameron Awards / Winner



It's been a beautiful few months since I finalized my most important photography project so far. It cumulates some enormous emotions that were expressed not with words but with my sitters' bodies.

531 women photographers from 50 countries have submitted for this year edition 9th Julia Margaret Cameron Award // Gala Awards ... and there is one winner in Nude and Figure category for a series of images... and it is my #CognitiveBodies series that features some awesome people I had that privilege to work with. Winning 9th Julia Margaret Cameron Award with Nude was Marta's entry to Berlin Photo Biennial 2016.

In this very touching moment I have to admit that production on that series ended up really hard time in my life and I am enormously happy seeing the light as the new series is beautifully appreciated by international professionals.

Other Awards for the series:
 PX3 Paris 2016 - Honorable Mention
 MIFA / Moscow International Foto Awards - Honorable Mention in  Fine Art / Nude
 Fine Art Photography Awards 2nd Nude

 I am thankful and enormously proud.

Cognitive Bodies fine art project

The aim of the project is to capture a very sensual collaboration of the human’s body and extreme emotions that expresses both the physical and spiritual harmony. It is to immortalize the beauty of shape, the purity of art and the uniqueness of existence.
Photographer’s job is to emotionally connect with the sitters to be able to recognize and understand what feelings each individual person and its connection to the body can express. At the same time each person involved must have a clear understanding of the Photographers vision that is to deeply concentrate on emotion and the way it can be expressed through the body and its unique language.
Human’s body and its posture disclose both physical and mental mood and state of mind. All good and bad, happy and sad emotions can be read from people’s faces and the way we appear.

Cognitive Bodies

There is always something unique I find in people I work with. There is also something mystical that let my brain relax while on the set or location. I would never ever change and do something else instead for life and for living. It really fuels me 100%. I started working on a new series of nude photographs yesterday and it is something I will be continuing for the next few months as I follow quite intense research :)
