Youth portfolio - a space for new talent

Youth portfolio is a section in the printed "Photography Quarterly" and here on our website. It's a space for new talent!
This is the place where we present the works of artists at different stages of their artistic journey - regardless of age.

If you feel that your photographs deserve a premiere, a debut then this is where it can happen!

How does it work?
Recruitment for the Youth Portfolio is ongoing - you can submit your proposal at any time; regulations are available here - you accept it by sending your application here.

Write a few words about yourself and your photos. Describe the titles of your photos, or you can title the whole series.

From among the submitted proposals, we select the most interesting photographs, which we publish:
- Once a quarter in print - Each edition of the magazine presents one photographer along with a text by the editors or a text from the author himself.
- On the website - Here we publish selected sets of photos so that even more people can see them.
- We also try to present your works on our social media channels (more often Instagram, in the future also on Facebook)
- We want to promote you further! And we are in the process of coming up with more promotional activities!

Offer your photographs for publication.
We look forward to your vision and the story you want to tell with images.

Self-therapy with self-portraits - Matthew Kowalczyk
There is probably no photographer who has not taken a self-portrait. The most famous among the pioneers of the invention of photography was certainly Hippolyte Bayard, who as early as 1840, photographing himself as a "suicide," expressed his great regret to the whole world that it was not to him that the palm of precedence in the invention of photography was awarded, but to some Daguerre or Talbot.Also, later artists very...
Endless province - Marcin Urbanowicz
Photography in itself is never the end. Photography captures the one-of-a-kind "Here and Now," because, after all, the second before the photo is taken and the second after the photo is taken, the world is completely different. It does not end, whether it is reflected on paper or already beyond the sight of man. It continues even without our knowledge. That's why photography, especially photography....
Marta Pogorzala's visual experience
Photography has always been a tool that allowed man to explore. Over time, as optical devices, including cameras, became more and more advanced, and their possibilities for discovery grew, not only for scientists and researchers, but also for artists who manifested the natural human qualities of curiosity and observation. This made it possible to expand horizons not only in the field of...
Paulina Pior - about difficult relationships
Sometimes it is the case that too high expectations from a partner, a partner, lead to difficulties in the relationship, which may even end in the breakup of that relationship. It's difficult to find a cure for this evil, which is why Paulina doesn't prescribe this medicine for us. She does not cure. She is more concerned with observing the "sick" by photographing them in various situations, creating a certain ambiguous "film" narrative.About his...
Alicia Brodovich's visual exercises
We received very interesting material, which we found not only beautiful, but also extremely poignant in terms of meaning. The thought illustrated by these photographs provokes reflection, demands a revision of previous views on the beauty of nature and the human body.Here is what the author wrote about her series:Photographing the first wrinkles on the faces of people close to me or the roots of trees in...
Weronika Jedrzejczak, Inspiration - 100,000 km - Exhalation
Looking at the photographs of Weronika Jedrzejczak, we notice first of all the coherence of the series, we can see that all the photographs belong to the same series, that they are not a collection of random and not much in common photos, which were given only the same signboard in the form of a title.I don't know Veronika personally and I don't know her as a person, I don't know w...
Kamil Sleszynski, Charms
Various sets, often very personal, exploring the history of one's own family, come to our box marked "Youth Portfolio." One such story was sent by Kamil Sleszynski.The story and the accompanying photographs - archival and contemporary, by the author - are moving. It turns out that the horrors of the communist period suffered by Sleszynski's ancestors can still have an impact. The author wonders whether the traumas...
Aga Sochal - to approach critically and creatively the situation at hand
The pandemic is a phenomenon we didn't know before. When it began in March 2020, no one imagined that it would last so long and that it would affect our lives so strongly.The numerous restrictions, especially the quarantine, was a downright traumatic experience for many people. It wasn't until February 24, 2022 that we learned that things could get worse. Before Putin...
"In Love with Nature" by Krzysztof Szlapa.
Everything that exists has a secret.All kinds of creative activities, including those related to the visual arts, are an attempt to get closer to what is contained between the lines, or rather between the images, as Michelangelo Antonioni himself once put it in an interview. Namely, to what is unrecorded, unarticulated, unspoken expressis verbis. The more we are able to...
