Aneta Bartos work is truly amazing!!! AlthoughI am usually not all that interested in fashion photography I must say that I like Aneta Bartos's work, which is refreshingly different as she captures the models in a unique way giving to us a final great result. Her photos are amazing!
She uses relatively long exposure and always underexpose but through this way she is giving us photos that are romantic, tender, sensual, erotic , elegantand at the same time very dark…not an easy combination to capture. She has REALLY a very distinct style. Some of her photos look like paintings
Here you will find some Aneta Bartos’ work. Unbelievably beautiful, very quiet imagery offering to us a usual mysterious, haunting beauty but at the same time tender, accessible and alive. These pictures are statement that nude can be really elegant and this is something I love very much.

Sara began taking her own pictures in Jan's studio in the late 1990s, and has shown a distinctive style while still working in similar territory to her teacher. There is a femininity and a remarkable tenderness in her work, which shows a very versatile approach, working in black and white with a Meopta Flexaret TLR or Praktisix SLR medium format camera.

"A photographie is like a miracle - it allowes us to control and to stop the time, and also it shows us something you can't emphasize: The Movement, the Emotion, the Pain as the Beauty. It creates our memories - of everything we love."
"As a mommy of 4 kids, who takes in her hands a camera, instead of cooking spoon and iron. And I do not something else, as to absorb all negatifs, all what's important to myself and what's fading reliable: The LOVE, the Pleasure, the Sadness as a Longing" smell the children, the Loneliness and the Expactation. All this are stories which turn stil in my mind - stories which were written by people - and which I can read as a book.We all, everybody of us, has a secret, and only the photographie can save it, without to reveal everything!"
