Kwiecień Plecień się Przeplata... :)

Po dwumiesięcznej, nie usprawiedliwionej nieobecności w końcu postanowiłem wgrać parę zdjęć z końca zimy. Niektórzy poznają tę parę z moich poprzednich postów. Pozostałym przedstwiam przemiłą parę: Anię i Maćka :))

My Love's Birthday!

On the 24th of February we set out on a surprise birthday trip I quietly put together for my dear wife, Anne, headed for Bialowieza National Park. Here are a couple of pics from the trip. Most of them are from the hotel, but I hope you will still enjoy them. Happy Birthday Honey! 

A Stroll Through the Snow

Anne and I have been meaning to go out for a stroll in the forest for quite a while but we never got a chance to until my birthday J. And what a great stroll it was. We were the only ones in the woods. No wind, slight snow... A little cold, but well worth it!

Aging Project with Cadence Pearson

Sorry for not posting for quite a bit, but the past couple months were filled with excitement and changes in my life. I moved back from London where I took a semester in Art Design and Media at Richmond University to Bialystok, Poland. I also got married on January 10th to to the only Love of my life, Anne. We just finished moving in to our new apartment and now both of us are catching up on many things.

Below is a very exciting project that I have done in cooperation with Cadence Pearson, a very talented artist from the US that lives in London. My part of the project was to take photos of fourteen regular women and to then edit them in Photoshop, stylizing them to look like magazine cover supermodels. The intended outcome was to show that the edited women start looking less like themselves and more like each other. Below are three of the fourteen women that I shot over two days.

Jonek and Iwona's Wedding

I really enjoyed shooting this Polish wedding in my homeland. Needless to say, I had a lot of fun too and way to many images to go through at the end. I just started working on them and have hardly gone through one third of it. I'm pretty sure I will post some more soon :)

My Promotional Video

This is a close-to-a-final version of the promotional video I made for my website - www.marekd.com. It's very possible that I will remove the the animated business card at the end of it and make a separate video out of it. The quality isn't the best because of blog's compression filters. You can view a better resolution version here: uk.youtube.com/watch?v=KLBQ9SPQ37M. Click "watch in high quality" to play it in even better resolution.

Enjoy, and don't forget to leave a comment letting me know what you think!

Our Wedding Invitation

Here is the invitation that I designed, along with my Dearest Love - Anne, for our wedding. First and second page photos of us are by my good friend, Jack McGrath. Click on the picture for a larger view.

Portrait of the Capoeirista - Jonek

The following are the portrait images I took for Jonek - the Capoeirista from Poland living in London.

Enjoy :)

London Thames Festival

Two weeks ago I decided to become more culturally active and I set out for London's River Thames Festival, which is a festival for the end of the summer. The biggest event in London throughout the year. And yes, I did take my camera with me :).

Enjoy!

My promotional teaser video. Music by Zerova.

My promotional teaser video. The quality is really bad because of compression filters used by this blog. The text in the video is as follows:

- Have you ever looked BEYOND?
- Do you believe that ONE PICTURE can tell the story of a lifetime?
- WE DO

Maciek and Ania

It's been a while since I posted last time, so I decided to upload some photos from Maciek and Ania's wedding. I wasn't the official photographer (I was the best men!!:), but I did take a couple of photos of them the next day. We were really rushing since I had to pack (I was leaving for London), but I think we still got some nice shots.

Enjoy!

Maciek and Ania's Engagement Photos

Below you will find engagement photos I took for my best friend. I hope you'll enjoy them!
