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

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!

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.
