Interview: Photographer Luiza Lipińska (Poland)

Can you tell us a little about you?

I am a photographer skilled in portrait, lifestyle, fashion and sensual photography, based in Warsaw, Poland.

How and when did you get into photography?

I have always been an artistic soul, as a kid i loved to draw/sketch. Unfortunately reality forced me to chose other way of living for a long time but now I am doing what I really love since about 3 years (which is photographing obviously). I quitted my regular office job to become a freelancer photographer.

What does photography mean to you?

Photography is basically the air I breathe. My friends and family laugh cause everywhere i go i see pictures and i photograph everything like an Asian tourist (no offense of course). :-)

Photography lets me express myself through the visuals.

Please briefly describe your photography style for our readers.

I shoot people! This is what I love the most, it took me a while to define myself but now I cant imagine my job or even my life without portraiting people (especially women). I love it when i can catch emotions on their faces and add a bit of myself in postproduction.

Where do you get inspiration from?

I basically get inspiration from everything my eyes can see, I love hanging around the city, exploring it. I love to assosiate with other artists as well, not only photographers but painters, make up artists etc.

Think you in advance what you want in the picture?

I would love to run my own studio, this is the plan!

Studio, on location or both?

Both i guess.

Would you consider yourself a hobbyist or a paid professional?

Paid professional passionate.

What has been your most memorable session and why?

I guess I am still looking forward to it.

What has been the biggest source of inspiration in your work?

People i photograph are my biggest inspiration.

Nikon or Canon? Favorite lens?

Canon. I used to be in love with 85mm 1.8 but i switched to 50mm 1.4 and i cant put it down.
