Stress less to accomplish more! Personal journey of a Female Brand Photographer

March 31, 2020

I have been beating myself up for some time now for not being active on social media: sharing my creative work, branding blog or post stories of my beautiful clients like others....

I simply don't feel like doing any of that at the moment!

I feel sort of under "societal pressure" as an international creative purpose driven female photographer and videographer (based in sunny Brighton, London,Sussex, UK), freelancer, business owner, artist, light worker (ex-finance person) to be visible even more!

What is the best time of the day for an Outdoor Portrait Photo shoot - Personal Brand Photographer Sussex UK

September 6, 2019

As a photographer, I am always looking fore the best light for my outdoor, inspired by nature portrait photo session with inspiring and creative women.

This “golden hour” has been my obsession lately, when the sun is quite low in the sky and you can feel the last touches of its warmth on your skin.

And just a few minutes before the sunset, the sky is full of warm shades of orange, dancing with fiery red and intense pink. By catching the perfect moment, we can turn this magical view into a piece of art, where your beauty is fully supported by delicious, soft and flattering light.

Are you a flowing water, invincible woman or a limitless, resilient rock woman? - Personal Brand Portrait Photo session

August 5, 2019

Are you a flowing water, invincible woman or a limitless, resilient rock woman?

Both are powerful yet showing their strength in a distinct way.

As a Professional Personal Brand Portrait Photographer and Retreat Photographer based in “sunny” UK, Sussex area, I strive to be surrounded with women who trust and surrender to the flow of life. It may even be at its simplest, the state when we just are, and we know that we are exactly where we should be.

Are you “the water” or “the rock”? or BOTH like me!

Justyna Outdoor Portrait Session- London & Brighton Portrait Photographer

December 2, 2017

I simply adore Autumn!

It’s one of the best time of the year for those beautiful and colorful OUTDOOR PORTRAIT SESSIONS! It comes as no surprise that’s one of the busiest time of the year for all photographers – especially those who find joy in exploring the world outside of their studios’ 4 walls, such as me. I’ve spent most of past weeks shooting multiple lifestyle family outdoor portraits (you HAVE to check my other blog posts ) as well as portraits of individuals among the greens, yellows and reds.
