Polish Artist Takes Spectacular Summertime Photos of her Children

Izabela Urbaniak is a photographer and mother of two playful boys from Lodz, Poland. Since 2012, she’s been creating a photo series called “Summertime,” which depicts holidays in the countryside (in the tiny village of Lugowiska), carefree childhood, and the joy and happiness of everyday life. These pictures represent summer without computers and TVs – only idyllic nature and playing children.

According to Urbaniak, her pictures don’t use much digital manipulation. “I only use Photoshop to make the pictures black and white and to increase contrast. Most of all, these photos were taken simply through careful observation. I shot these photographs with a Canon Mark III and 50 mm f 1.4 and 85 mm f 1.2 lenses.”
