Photo portals

What is a photo portal

A photo portal is an image of one of Earth's places of power, taken from above.

It looks like a nature photograph, yet people who interact with it often have a physical or emotional response: goosebumps, warmth, trembling hands, tears, a deep sense of calm. Sometimes it happens right at an exhibition, while a person is simply standing in front of the work.

The response

How it began

I began to notice this almost from the start. People would walk up to my works and freeze. Some people's hands would start to shake, and the response was so clear you could see it from the outside. Stories like these are how my research began. Today, in the Teleportation Session, we measure a person's pulse before and after five minutes with a photo portal. Sensitive viewers have told me many times that no photograph they had ever seen made them feel anything like this.

Hypothesis

How I understand it

Stanislav Bartnikas in flight over the desert

I can't fully explain this phenomenon, I can only share how I understand it. As I fly over a place of power, my energy structure interacts with the energy of that place, and at the moment of the shot this interaction is imprinted on the camera sensor. There is also a deeper level. At this point, the energy of the Earth, rising "from below", connects through me with the energy of the cosmos, the absolute, coming "from above". Energy practitioners have described it to me like this: when two energies meet, a third one is born, and a divine spark lights up in a person, helping them remember their spiritual nature.

Artifact

An energy artifact

That is why I call a photo portal an energy artifact. Through it, a person can feel a place they have never been to and receive the energy codes they need to remember their true self. In this process I am a conduit and a carrier of these codes. And I am certain that for every person there is a photo portal of their own.

No promises

Is it yours

Stanislav Bartnikas

I don't make promises, and I don't try to convince anyone. Some people feel a response right away, some over time, and some not at all. If you feel it, this photo portal is yours. Interacting with it can change how you perceive yourself and the life around you. A sense comes that you are one with all life on Earth. And this experience becomes part of a spiritual path.

…To me this isn't only a photo, it's a work of art. Its painterly quality, plus the graphic nature of the landscape, takes this beyond an ordinary aerial photoshoot. Yes, it's right place at the right time, but it's technically impressive in that it's absolutely sharp and crisp. I hope to see more of your photos!

What people say

“Within a few seconds I was deeply immersed in my body. Calm and joy came. And a message from this portal: you can lean on the world.”

Stanislav, something incredible has just happened to me (and is still happening). My first look at the photograph: a smile from ear to ear and such joyful jubilation inside: "Oh, I know this! This energy is familiar to me."

And then it hit me: as if an osteopath took me gently and firmly by the shoulders, put a knee against my thoracic spine and began to straighten my back, strongly and gently. My shoulders turned and dropped back, my neck began to lengthen, the crown of my head up, my chest opened, and I still can't slouch the way I usually do.

And yet there is no tension, inside there is absolute calm and jubilation. I don't yet understand what these energies are doing with my body, but I really like it! Thank you from my heart for sharing this miracle!

A couple with their photo portal

This is another long-held dream of ours: a photograph of the planet by Stanislav. It is our wedding gift to ourselves. It carries a very powerful meaning.

Pure joy. I can really feel the energy of the work in the space. When I buy a house, I'll order a few more works in a large size.

All portals are fantastic, they are so alive. The portal I chose took me deep into sensations, as if I were flying and seeing the place with my own eyes. While watching, I felt my whole body. It raised feelings and emotions.

Thank you, Stanislav, for your gift to the world.

Every one of your works definitely changes the chemistry of the body. It is like a beacon, a tuning fork: you have forgotten a little, then suddenly, look, remember, and move on.

My eldest son says: turn this song on for me, it will help me remember who I am and why I was created.

About the song "Soul of the Earth"

Incredibly beautiful artwork. Seeing the rivers like veins of life.

It felt as if my spine began to warm up and the warmth spread inside. Grounded and filled.

For me it's not really a piece of art, it's much more important. I feel the energy of Gaia that you convey through this photograph.

Rivers like thoughts, energy spilling into something bigger: desires, actions, events.

My biggest insight from this journey is that fear is inside me, and I can just let it out.

I can breathe, an inner warmth has appeared, I want to live.

A feeling of freshness and lightness. You feel it with your body, with your eyes.

Expansion. The body has no boundaries.

alina_kudryavtceva

It was wonderful, five minutes of silence and calm. How beautiful our planet is. Words can't convey it, you have to feel it, and that is what just happened.
