KWARTALNIK FOTOGRAFIA NO. 40
January 2023
The long-awaited, prestigious printed Kwartalnik Fotografia is back. Exactly 10 years after the last issue.
In a slightly Mexican entourage, I invite you to the new issue, in which I write about Georgian villages afflicted with hardships and poverty along the Trans-Caucasian mountain road. On the traditions, rituals and unique lifestyle of the inhabitants living in the socially and geographically distant peripheries of the country. On an unusual and rich culture in danger of disappearing. And all this is complemented by moving black and white photographs, full of meaty grain and simple lyricism, which reveal the true face and history of the villages of the Caucasus. Villages that are still under Russian influence…

ZEW PÓŁNOCY
December 2023
In the latest issue of „New Północy” I write about the taste of Swedish forests and the potential of what nature offers us. Plants that many consider to be weeds, which I refer to as "superfoods". On the manifesto of modern Nordic cuisine and sustainable production. Allemansrätten law and initiatives to reduce waste.
At the end, I present to you my own eco-gas review and recommend my favorite places in Stockholm, such as Sally Voltaire & Systrar or Vintervikens Trädgård.

YOU THINK YOU KNOW THE CITY?
November 2022
Some time ago I was invited to co-create an application that will be a modern city guide like no other.
The Secret App team invited selected doers and creators from various European cities to share their secret places – those that remain "off the radar" of mainstream tourism. Unusual places where we like to relax, spend time with friends, have fun or where we escape from the city noise. The application has been running for a while, it is completely free and available on the App Store and Google Play.
Whether you are planning Amsterdam, Barcelona, Belgrade, Glasgow, Hamburg, Paris, Copenhagen or Warsaw, it is worth taking advantage of the recommendations of some super cool people who share their places, that you simply cannot miss.

The Light of the Nordic Noir
December 2019
The captivating aura of the vast North, strong ties with nature and love for untypical light which is a parallel of the soul's light have always been of interest of researchers into Scandinavian culture, local writers, painters, illustrators, photographers and filmmakers. It's hardly surprising; light and nature in the Scandinavian Peninsula are extremely original and different, even comparing to other countries in the same climate zone.
About the Scandinavia I discovered during long months spent in Viking forests and mountains and the melancholies of the North, embedded in national romanticism you will read in my article for LABEL#39.

K MAG

How do we define irony in art and pop culture?
Find my answers to these questions in the article “A moments distraction and yet another success. The usage of irony in pop culture" in the latest KMag. I see irony differently than the other conversationalists. I've noticed that it is less lucid than before, chugging its previous form. In the 90s it was an important factor shaping photography. When it echoed in advertising and pop culture it lost a lot of its appeal. Read my opinion on humanistic irony, the multidimensional narration of Tadeusz Rolke's, Chris Niedenthal's, Jonathan May's photography and the need of education. Pages 78-82 – enjoy.

Agata Mayer x Złota 44

On the thirty third floor of the luxurious Złota 44 skyscraper, the premiere of the Fiore Verde apartment took place.
The interior has been decorated by renowned interior designers with exclusive European furnitures and one of my photographs. The photograph titled "Future Attack" (70x170cm) bound in a strong red frame discreetly flirts with bottle-green walls, soft ruby couches and muffled lamp light, underlining the character of the place hovering proudly over the Warsaw skyline.

In the latest issue of Book of Luxury, I analyze the changes taking place in global investment trends.

I also analyze what makes photography so powerful and why Zbigniew Beksiński raised the question of photo's identity.
"From unappreciated snapshots to million-dollar photographs" in my essay for the Book of Luxury. Enjoy.

Riven Magazine
July 2017
"A sip of summer" editorial for the spring/summer'17 edition of Riven Magazine.
The photo shoot was inspired by the Australian climate. The feeling of warmth and endless summer has been set in a slightly sleepy and unreal world, what underlines the timeless clothes of Joanna Klimas and Łukasz Jemioł. The Parisian style combined with New York's minimalism is presented among the fields of golden cereals and meadows. The model becomes a fairy tale Alice, innocent and lost in mysterious nature, but at the same time sternly aware of her felinity.

Working on a movie project together with the coolest group of Swedish creatives. If you are a fan of nordic noir, philosophical adventures, metaphysical thrillers and Vikings, that's something for you. Taking care of the Production Stills and PR in this project I will take you on an unforgettable, cinematographic journey through the deep norse nature into the darkness, wilderness of the Viking's World with a touch of fantasy. I spent several months in forests and mountains, learning about the local culture of the North. I photographed, among other things, the Jämtland region where I ended up with Jörgen Vikström, a location scout working with David Fincher and Daniel Craig on "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo".

'On Viking Ground'
January 2015
My new cinematographic editorial out now!
Bringing closer Swedish fashion I focused on a good looking man. It is a fact that in Stockholm you will turn to look at a man rather than at a woman. Well, everybody likes a man in a well-tailored suit, right? Right. It is also a fact that in Stockholm beards are having a moment. For the past few years you have observed a sea of fashion-conscious men who have let their beards grow. The appeal of men in suits with beards, is something that's been on my radar lately. Following this scent I organized a 6 day photo shoot in over 15 magically noir locations to illustrate a modern, masculine, uncontrived and well-cared-for Viking arousing primitive instincts.
