The central composition and tight frame contribute to the erotic vibe that gives so much strength to Kasia Bielska’s work titled ‘Bloom’. The piece has been captured in a style that is associated with a certain vision of innocence, communicated in the most natural and direct way, unfettered by the traditional constraints of shame. This allows us to read this image as an acceptance of female empowerment, body positivity and – what is so evident in the current imagery of well-known fashion and lifestyle publications of our time, shaped in great measure by the female gaze – to take over the male vision that has dictated the idea of the ‘weaker sex’ for so many centuries.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
KASIA BIELSKA – photographer, graduate of the Lodz Film School. Her diploma project, ‘It’s Now or Never’ received the prestigious Sony Photo Award in the category of ‘Photojournalism and Documentary’. Next, she was named a finalist in the New York Photo Awards, which allowed her to travel to New York for a year and work for the likes of the Pratt Institute, Lab Magazine, Nylon, Founders & Followers, Gods Magazine, IMG Models and others. She was also a finalist in the Adobe Design Achievement awards. Every year, she is nominated and awarded numerous distinctions from the Polish Club of Advertising Creators (KTR). Bielska’s minimalist approach to form and her subtle sensibility to fashion photography places her work at the intersection of commercial photography and art.
