Recently, I visited the great Polish director Krzysztof Zanussi. His stories about life and love deeply touched me. What stood out the most was his story about his wife Elzbieta — not only his muse but also the architect of their home, full of light and harmony, reflecting their relationship.
For a photographer, such encounters are a chance to feel the energy of creativity and understand that the art of cinema and photography both share the search for beauty and meaning. These conversations remind us of how important it is to see not just the object, but the story behind it.
I left this meeting with an important lesson: creativity begins with inner peace. Appreciate the simple moments, surround yourself with beauty, and love those who are near.
