Marcin Retecki FineArt Photography

Hey guys. I know, I know, I’ve been quite quiet lately. There are a couple reasons for that, but the one that may be of your interest is that I’m currently in Oslo, Norway. I’m here due to my master thesis I will be writing. Something around Ibsen, drama and art, most probably.

This has made my previously built sched a bit shattered. There is no need to worry thou as I’m not quiting on taking photos. Actually, I am more and more confident on going full pro some day in the future. Photography is that thing that I really enjoy and never get bored of.

But I won’t bore you with those. I haven’t yet taken much photos here. Weather is rather gray, something that I don’t like much. I took some iPhone snaps here and there like the one below …

Those of you following my tweets or facebook have probably seen my iPhone pics and snaps. Recently I have looked back and gone through them finding some that I’m really happy about.

The new portfolio is ready, however, I will link to it when all other portfolios are updated.

Let’s face it, bringing your big camera everywhere is tiring and often pointless. I like to have it in my bag when going for a longer walk or a trip. But how about those times when you can’t or just don’t want to have it? Date, party, snack, coffee, you name it …

I will be reconstructing my portfolio for next few days. You will probably notice some blank pages or fields without text. Don’t worry, I’m working on it right now.

Take care, cya soon.

By using warming gels and proper white balance I have achieved that very warm and rich hue …

Here is a place to comment my Week 26 – The Morning.

This week I decided to move a bit away from strobes and artificial lights and use the morning sun as an only light source.

The above photo was quite spontaneous as it was taken after the actual photoshoot …

View the Gallery – Session for Friends!

3 weeks ago, me and my friends met in Galeria Scena to take some portraits. I don’t think much comment is needed here, just go to the gallery and check them yourself …
