BASIA ALBUM BY TOMEK JANKOWSKI

0 Comments

Photographer Tomek Jankowski has just launched a new project, 'B Album', containing a year's worth of images of emerging supermodel Basia.

Describing an imaginary journey through one year of life made by Basia (represented by IMG Models, New York and Gaga Models, Poland), the album contains a number of different series' of photographs, each describing a different time of year and a different state of mind.

According to Jankowski, the project was developed in total secrecy:

"Only three people knew about it: Basia, her Mom, Kasia and me, the photographer. Our aim was to create an album of simple, straightforward photography. Hence, you won't find here any designer rags, stylised hair or make-up. Just pure, raw beauty of Basia." Tomek explains.

"Every month of the year, we were meeting with Basia at exactly same place - a lakeshore, not far away from the place where Basia lives. We wanted to create a sensation of passing time and changing of seasons. Everything was done in very rare moments of Basia's spare time - between her school studies and professional model work. So, the timing had to be perfect."

"Additionally, we did a number of side-sessions, when the mood was right and we felt the need to save the moment."

Jankowski and Basia's year of working together has finished, and with the album complete, the record is made; a unique photographic tale based on emotions and awareness of surrounding environment.

Beautiful girl, beautiful shots, beautiful concept. We like.
