Interview: Photographer Magdalena Kowolik (Poland)

Can you tell us a little about you?

My name is Magdalena Kowolik, im 35 years old and im from Poland. Art has always been present in our family. My grandfather was a photography enthusiast. But my adventure with photography began with sport. Im volleyball fan. First, I took up sports photography, from which I am still living. With time, I learned to work in the studio. I like to take challenges, that's why I photograph people. Models, ordinary customers who want to feel different than normal, children, and of course, undertake various commercial orders not related to fashion. I learned photography at school, but this collection of experience during sessions allows me to acquire new skills. That's what I like about photography.
