Interview: Photographer Katarzyna Staniorowska (Poland)
Can you tell us a little about you?
I'm polish photograpfer from Wroclaw (Poland). Recently, I got a Master's degree in Finance. Now I have a break so I can build my portfolio.
How and when did you get into photography?
My adventure began with analogues in the Youth Culture House. It was a magical place full of the smell of chemistry from the photographic darkroom.
What does photography mean to you?
Photography is a passion and the way I can show other people how I see things.
Please briefly describe your photography style for our readers.
I love fashion photography and portraits. I like to catch moments, expressions and light.
Would you consider yourself a hobbyist or a paid professional?
Currently it's my hobby.
Where do you get inspiration from? Pinterest is a great source of inspiration for me. I can dig there for hours. After watching so many photos I am very motivated to create and develop my workshop.
Think you in advance what you want in the picture?
No, I rather work when I see the whole scenery with make-up, clothes, etc. You never know if there will be wind in the scenery or how the dress will look like... Sometimes I think about a specific shoot, but then I just forget about it and do my thing.
Studio, on location or both?
Both.
Nikon or Canon? Favorite lens?
Canon, but in my opinion I could work on any photo equipment. My favourite lenses are 50mm and 24-70mm.
What has been your most memorable session and why?
Few months ago I organised large photosession with horses. It was difficult, because I had to cancel the session two or three times, change the model and change make-up artist. On final day we met on railway station at 7 am and traveled to our beautiful destination - Dworzysko in Szczawno-Zdroj. It was a cold January day, so I had to work fast, because my model was freezing. Despite everything, we had a lot of fun. Those girls were the best team I could dream of.
What is one piece of advice you would like to offer a new photographer looking to start their own business?
Be creative and never give up. Take a lot photos and learn on your mistakes. Improve yourself and develop other areas of photography
What do you think of our new magazine?
I think it is very inspiring. Thanks to interviews and editorials you can discover many new good photographers and get to know their perception or find cool tips.
