Saturday night in Kazimierz I went to shoot a local relay race “The City Madness” organized by .running club.
Nobody invited me, I just knew about the event and felt like going there to experiment a bit.
Lately I’ve been wanting to explore a different visual direction. More color, different compositions, more chaos, more movement. But mostly… flash. Flash everything.
For a long time every time I needed flash, I felt completely out of my comfort zone, almost like exposing a lack of skill. So before this event I spent a few days practicing at home, photographing my kids running around, playing, riding bikes… and then on Saturday I went to photograph bigger kids running, playing, and some of them also on bikes 😅
I don’t really see this as professional work, more as a discovery phase. Trying things, failing at some, understanding others. A process inspired by the work of younger brilliant artists like .jay.adr and , whose work pushed me to experiment and explore a more raw, intentional way of seeing and creating images.
And honestly, Glue, thanks for creating events like this. It was a pleasure to use The City Madness as a creative platform to learn, experiment and get uncomfortable for a while, which I guess is exactly what this event is about.
Amazing atmosphere and definitely a pin on the calendar for the next one.
Also… I realized there’s no way I can fit everything from that night into one post, so this will definitely continue.
