Rafał Guz

Rafał Guz is a portrait photographer based in Wola whose work focuses on capturing genuine emotions and character. His approach to portrait photography is grounded in simplicity, attentive lighting and a conversational method — rather than forced poses, he prefers to create conditions where natural expression can emerge. Rafał’s specialty is black-and-white portrait photography, often executed on Ilford film. This choice is deliberate: monochrome imagery directs attention to texture, facial expression and emotion without color distractions. His strong understanding of light and shadow gives the portraits a timeless quality and an intimate, powerful presence. Why choose Rafał for a portrait session? Above all for his ability to work with people — he builds a calm, trusting atmosphere so that even those who feel uneasy before the lens relax. His sessions are collaborative conversations: he begins with a short meeting to set expectations, then gently guides the subject to reveal the most authentic moments. The result is portraits that are not only visually striking but also tell the story of the person in front of the camera. Rafał shoots both on location and in controlled studio light, using natural settings or simple lighting setups to emphasize the portrait’s character. His technical experience and refined sense of style mean the images are suitable for personal archives, publications or gallery display. Portrait photography with Rafał combines technique, sensitivity and respect for the photographic process. If you are looking for a portrait with authenticity, depth and timeless aesthetics, a session with Rafał Guz in Wola will deliver that outcome. Whether you prefer a documentary-feel outdoor session or a carefully lit studio portrait, Rafał adapts his methods to highlight your personality and create enduring images.
