Night drone view of Up To Date Festival 2023: a crowd in red light in front of the stage, lit-up tents and forest all around

Since 2023 I’ve been taking photos for Up To Date Festival, Białystok’s electronic music festival, which took the name Electrum Up To Date Festival for its 15th edition in 2024. The organisers run my pictures in their posts, credited to me.

2023

In June 2023 I flew a drone over the festival grounds. That shot illustrated “Da się to zrobić!” (It can be done!), a piece on the festival’s environmental changes written for the Reset! network, and later the announcement of Electrum Group as title sponsor from the 15th edition on.

2024

The 15th edition, Electrum Up To Date Festival, ran from 30 May to 2 June 2024. It opened at 4 am on 30 May, when the charity balloon of the third Flying Ambient Salon took off over the Narew backwaters. That day the festival posted my photos from the morning alongside shots by the women on board. The wrap-up of the edition is illustrated with photos by Krzysztof Karpiński, Monika Kozak and me. My balloon shot also appeared in the August summary of the fundraiser, which raised 23,871 zł for family-run children’s homes in Podlasie.

2026

In May 2026 the festival announced it was moving the weekend part of the event from Lubomirski Park to the car parks around Chorten Arena. The photos in that announcement are credited to Krzysztof Karpiński and me.
