Interview: Photographer Paulina Kotulska Chwalewska (Poland)

Can you tell us a little about you?

My name is Paulina and I am a photographer from Poland. Photography is my life.

How and when did you get into photography?

I have been interested in photography since I was a child. I started with my dad's analog camera. With time, I gave myself up to my passion so much that photography became my job.

What does photography mean to you?

Photography is life for me. I keep moments and memories.

For my models, photos are often like phototherapy

Please briefly describe your photography style for our readers.

I love painting photography, tight frames, focused on the model's eyesight.

I am inspired by classic old photographs and paintings. Just like the models themselves. After meeting the model and the interview, I already know how I want to present her in the photo.

Do you think in advance what you want in the picture ?

Rather yes, but we are often fantasized with models

Studio, on location or both?

Both, each place brings something interesting and different

Would you consider yourself a hobbyist or a paid professional?

I am a professional photographer, I have my own company Pola78 Fotografia

What has been your most memorable session and why?

A very important session for me was the one I did for women after breast cancer. They were exceptional models and a unique session called Energetic Women.

Nikon or Canon? Favorite lens?

Nikon D 850

What is one piece of advice you would like to offer a new photographer looking to start their own business?

We currently have difficult times due to the pandemic. But you have to fight for yours and keep going. And most importantly, take a lot of photos.

What do you think of our new magazine?

I think it's a great thing that gives us the opportunity to get to know each other. It can make new friends and create new photo sessions.
