Czarny Melonik

Under the name Czarny Melonik, Anna Nieżychowska concentrates her practice on portrait photography. She works with people — including those who call themselves “unphotogenic” — and transforms camera shyness into images of genuine presence and inner strength. Trained at the Warsaw School of Photography with Marian Schmidt and experienced with large-format equipment, Anna blends a deep sensitivity to light and decisive moments with modern digital techniques and restrained retouching. Her specialization is portrait photography. Sessions are available in studio, outdoors and at clients’ homes — each begins with a conversation to plan the shoot and to discover what makes the subject unique. Anna cultivates a calm, friendly atmosphere that helps people relax and stop “posing.” The result are portraits that do not pretend, but reveal character. The working process is personal and clear: a brief consultation, help with styling and posing, careful work with light and gesture, and discreet post‑processing that preserves authenticity. Anna values the printed photograph — a high-quality print in a passe-partout matters to her as much as a digital file. For clients in Praga Południe and across Warsaw, a portrait session with Czarny Melonik is an investment in an image that builds confidence and becomes a lasting keepsake. Why choose Czarny Melonik? Because you’ll meet a photographer who truly sees people’s beauty and knows how to reveal it. If you want professional portrait photographs — from psychological, character-driven portraits to relaxed lifestyle sessions — Anna will guide you through the process with sensitivity, experience and respect for what you want to show.
