What if it rains during outdoor portrait photoshoot? Sussex Brighton Photographer

August 2, 2021

I am all about embracing all weather conditions during the outdoor photoshoot in Sussex, Brighton and Hove locations. Wether its in Brighton & Hove centre, beach, woodland or open field.

Together we play with the sun and shadows, we embrace the wind rather than fighting with it.

However, when it comes to rain…

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.

8 Makeup hacks by a Professional Female Portrait Photographer

May 4, 2020

As a female Portrait Photographer one of the most common questions I am asked by my clients before a lifestyle and branding portrait photo session is: “do I need a makeup artist?” or “how much make up is recommended?” and “if I don't normally wear much make up, should I put some on for the photo shoot?”

My answer is always the same and super simple:…

International Personal Brand Portrait Photographer - Magdalena Smolarska Photography based in UK, London & Brighton Sussex

Never feel good enough? My personal journey with Branding Photography – London & Brighton Female Portrait Photographer

January 11, 2020

I spent most of my life feeling “not good enough” ... Can you relate?

This feeling can manifest in different way…. “self-destruction” but in my case always was opposite pushing my boundaries and working even harder to prove myself my worth through achievements.

I spent the last ten years of my life working in the corporate world before following my passions as an International Personal Brand Portrait Photographer & Videographer, event organiser and mentor based in lovely Brighton & London.

Relaxed Lifestyle Woman Portrait Photo session in nature with Magdalena Smolarska Photography, UK, London & Brighton

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.
