Conceptual: Honorable Mention 2024 (professional)
ENTRY DESCRIPTION
Distance That Took You Away captures a reflective moment during a train journey through Poland in the early days of spring. The stark landscape, marked by bare trees and muted tones of early-spring in Poland, contrasts with the sharp, focused presence of my Border Collie Ciri, as she is always my travel companion - and the best one. What's most important - she really enjoys it!
The image explores duality: the juxtaposition of stillness and motion, with Ciri’s calm, grounded figure set against the fleeting blur of the passing scenery. Her reflection in the glass adds a deeper narrative, symbolizing both connection and distance, as well as the transient nature of time and travel. This photograph highlights the quiet interplay of emotion, movement, and the enduring bond shared in moments of transition.
AUTHOR
I'm 23 years professional dog photographer old from Poland for 11 years, studied Cultural Studies at Silesian University for three years. I'm self-taught at photography, it all began and lead from love to dogs and started for real when I got my first dog - golden retriever Kiara. Dog photography combines my main passions such as dogs, art and travel. I live in Ruda Śląska in very industrial part of my country. I always seeked for the beauty and looked for it wanting to create art which includes dogs as main characters. I want to show connection bewteen dogs and nature, place them inside nature and majestic landscapes and show it's power. My aim is to create unique, soulful and full of emotions dog portraits in sometimes dark, mysterious style in fairy-tale breath-taking locations like waterfalls, glaciers, lakes by mountains, magical forests.
Curently I am running a dog photography business offering photo sessions and artistic dog photography workshops in many countries in Europe and outside of it.
