I caught this one on a warm Saturday night in Katowice a few years ago. Somewhere on the Mariacka strip where every other doorway is a bar and the pavement is essentially a parade route. Five women in a loose flying-V, the bride-to-be in white on the right with a tiara, a veil and a sash that does the introductions for her. It’s the kind of group you hear before you see.
I love that it’s not posed: one’s mid-laugh, they’re all mid-stride, the leader has her arm out like she’s parting the Red Sea, and the rest have an assortment of expressions. The night was still young.
Shot wide and low so the restaurant lights smear across the back, which felt right for the energy.
Katowice doesn’t get much love from travel guides next to Kraków and Wrocław, but on a Saturday night it was alive and buzzing with activity.
