TITLE: Kaleidoscope of Avatar

When the Theater of Young Artists from Legnica "Avatar" in November 2018 invited me to perform a photo session of their acrobats, I had no idea what the final effect of the photos will be ... I took my camera, 2 lamps, my family to the team and we went to the place photo session. Conditions quite difficult, dark, reflectors, smoke ... About 5 hours of photoshoot. Young Artists between 15 and 30 years old presented us their skills. We were delighted. During postprocessing, I came up with the idea to show the beauty of acrobatics by reflecting photographs, to remind me of the images seen in the optical toy: a kaleidoscope. I often played with this toy in my childhood. This is how my series was created.
