Portrait Salon 2017

A portrait of my dear friend Tim has been selected for Portrait Salon 2017 to be exhibited in London in November.
Not only made my day but also reminds me about that great guy who is the only man in this world I am ok with to meet in a hotel room in any city in this world and expect to wear nothing... to portray him -- even if sounds naughty 🤣 #SpecialRelationship #chuffed #thankful #MadeMyDay

Lov'yer - a very intimate insight on 7 different relationships I managed to capture in one day.

8 months of research and preparation / 27 people involved / 7 sets / 1 shooting day.
Lov'yer - a very intimate insight on 7 different relationships I managed to capture in one day. Love, judgement and rejection... my thoughts, observations and fascination. As a woman, lesbian and a foreigner I went through all sorts of moments of rejection because of who I am, who I love and where I come from.
We are desperate to find love, to experience, cherish and keep it.
We succeed and we lose.
People love. People cheat. People judge. People can be brutal. People search for attraction and attention, sex and lust, deep union and long-term partners. It's hard to be lonely.

A massive thank you to the whole crew who worked hard while helping me to achieve and capture my vision. I received the most beautiful support. A very special thanks to my loved one who never stopped me but strongly pushed forward.
Love to every single person involved. I wouldn't have been possible without you all. Much love to Dodho for making this a very first publication of my Lov'yer series <3

Lov'yer project

blessed to have worked with a team of such amazing people. thank you for coming for the screening of the Lov'yer project. It will now officially start existing <3

http://www.martakochanek.com/

The history of humanity registered hundreds of thousands of romances and mésalliances of all kinds.

The world witnesses love between people of all nations and races. This planet gave the room to those attracted to people of the same, opposite and both genders. It’s how this world is constructed. It’s how it always was.
For my new Lov'yer project I portrayed seven relationships that are formed by both majority and minority of the whole population that occupies this globe.
More soon...

Guilty pleasures, food porn you name it when the consumption is just a pure delight.

Habits is a new series of portraits I take of people who are passionate about food. Guilty pleasures, food porn you name it when the consumption is just a pure delight. Some psychologists says that there is a relationship between food and sex and it rather sounded intriguing to me (on a diet all my life and so I took step forward on that ground). Eating a sensual desire.. oh maybe!

It's Tim.

I sometimes meet a man in a hotel room. Usually, he takes his clothes off.
I don't. ... I realize it sounds dodgy at this point haha!!
It's Tim. I met Tim back in 2010 when he invited me to shoot him for his lifetime project. I think he is awesome. He used to be a lawyer but had to give up his career due to Parkinson. Since then he approached more than 400 photographers he posed for. We see each other as often as we can. We discuss love, politics, photography and The Beatles. It is Tim, through my lens, third time. Happy 7th anniversary <3
