Fear of facing the camera? How to overcome it for your professional photo session - UK Portrait photographer

October 12, 2020

Being in front of the camera can be intimating for some people, and if you are a little camera shy like me (yes, I also get shy in front of the camera) being in nature can help you to feel much more relaxed and peaceful.

Nature has this beautiful quality which helps you to slow down and to disconnect from your busy lifestyle. I take a full advantage of this personally and during photoshoot with my clients.

Purpose-driven Personal Brand Portrait Photographer - Magdalena Smolarska Photography based in UK, London & Brighton-2.jpg

Bringing Smiles to Orphanage Girls with Magdalena, UK Personal Branding Photographer & Videographer

April 11, 2020

“Togetherness” is such a powerful act. I know together we can make loads of small changes leading to something bigger. With everything I do, as a heart-centred UK female personal branding photographer and videographer, there has to be a deeper purpose!

I am not just another London & Brighton portrait photographer… After 11 years spent working in a big corporation in London, I decided to follow my dream and have my purpose-driven life with a zest of creativity.

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!

How to choose a perfect location for the Personal Brand Portrait Photo session?

July 17, 2019

Yay, location, Location, LOCATION! 

One of my favourite aspects of being a professional portrait photographer is the chance to leave the inside of four walls behind…

and explore…

Choosing those, rather than yet another place you could probably expect all the local photographers shoot at, makes the photos truly stand out! It is all driven by the fact that YOU are so unique – the location of the photo session should reflect YOU, be just like you, just right, matching your personality, extract the essence of your passion and business purpose.

Personal Brand  Portrait and Retreat Photographer & Videographer- Magdalena Smolarska International Photographer

I discovered my heart of creation at the Writing Retreat - Professional Retreat Photographer & Videographer

June 23, 2019

Me, my camera, my journal and pen! That’s what I packed for the personal branding film and photography project with Agatha, a professional writer and a writing retreat organiser.

But let’s be honest!

I was not only excited to capture the essence and the atmosphere of her beautiful seven day women writing retreat BUT mostly excited to take part in the retreat myself. 

Why?

Because for many years, writing, blogging and journaling have been out of my comfort zone. I never truly enjoyed the process. I did not know where to start and how to express myself freely. 

I have never been able to find a time for writing all day long without feeling guilty…

Tango passion and community spirit with Leigh Tango through the eyes of dancer and photographer

November 13, 2018

I had a privilege to meet Samira & Luis not only during our two brand photo sessions but also on the dance floor.

As a social dancer myself, I strongly believe in the power of community within the dance world. I love being involved in a supportive, welcoming and collaborative environment. It makes me feel part of something bigger and helps me feel relaxed in milongas.

Ignite your spark and find your path to success - Personal Brand portriat Photo session with Career Success Coach Karen J Finney

August 18, 2018

Today, I am thriving as a Personal Brand Portrait Photographer and love every aspect of my work. It fulfils me in many ways, allowing me to express my creativity and interact and build relationships with amazing people every day: businesswomen, freelancers, soloprenour, artists, online business owners, bloggers, designers, creative individuals and many more! Much more than a job, it is a way of life that reflects who I am and a lifestyle that I love. This love for what I do gives me the energy and excitement to get up every morning. 

But it took me a long time to discover, or rather re-discover, my passion.

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.
