In many cultures, magnolia flowers symbolize noble values such as femininity, beauty, purity, and dignity. However, it's difficult to photograph them in a way that truly captures their symbolism. Hence my idea to photograph them "into the sun," with gentle gusts of wind and a slightly blurred image. Thanks to a well-thought-out concept and composition, the photograph acquired a dreamlike and mystical atmosphere, simultaneously emphasizing the beauty of the magnolia flowers and their symbolic meaning. I took the photograph, titled "The Face of Beauty", on a sunny March day in 2025 in Warsaw.
I am a Polish photographer. My personal project "The Flying Tales" was born out of my passion for aviation, traveling and exploring new places, in which I present the world around me exactly as I see it. A special place in my work is occupied by abstract aerial photography, thanks to which I give existing images completely new meanings. This is how my original photographic series are created. An unconventional view and the need to constantly search for unique compositions in the space around me enable me to bring out hidden images and create unique narratives.
