Portrait of the author — photographer Dawid Szotek
About the author

I create moments where it's easy to be yourself.

I've been a photographer for five years. Kraków is my home port and my workshop — in Kraków studios, in Kazimierz ateliers, in locations from the Vistula to the Tatra mountains. I started in fashion editorial; today my language is the women's portrait: editorial, fine art and intimate.

I don't pose — I shape the moment. I believe the best photographs happen when you forget the camera is there. Every session starts with coffee and a conversation about what you want to say. Then I choose the light, the location, the styling. I take two sessions a week — because a good portrait doesn't happen in a hurry.

I work with private clients, fashion brands and model agencies.

How we work

Three stages, one decision.

I.

Conversation

A meeting in a café, or a video call if you live far away. You tell me what you want to say — I propose how to show it. No commitment.

Free
II.

Session

Studio or location — the choice follows the concept. Calm, unhurried. Styling prepared beforehand. Duration: two to four hours.

In Kraków & nearby
III.

Selection

Online gallery with photos to choose from. You pick the final count for retouching. Authorial editing — my style, not a filter.

Within 21 days
